Wills

A Will give you full control over such issues as who gets your property, who will be the guardian of your children, who will manage your estate upon your death, who will inherit assets that you haven't left to anyone else and other issues relating to the management and distribution of your estate. The importance of a Will cannot be understated. A Will is perhaps the most important legal document the average person will ever posess. Yet, over 70% of American adults do not have one. Are you one of them?

Did you know that if you die without a Will the state you live in decides how your property is distributed? Often, the surviving spouse will get half the estate and any children will inherit the other half, which may or may not be how you want your property distributed. Also, if a person dies without a Will and without any trace of any heirs, all property will escheat (be turned over) to the state. These are just a couple of reasons why it's definitely in your best interest to take the time to create a Will.
