Why Is Having a Will Important?

A will is an important legal document that should be included in your estate planning strategy because it explains exactly how your assets should be distributed among your family and other beneficiaries after you die.

Because your will must be validated during the probate process following your death, you should consult with a knowledgeable lawyer to discuss how to properly draft your legal documents so that your loved ones don’t have to deal with additional burdens.

Although some people will put off estate planning until it’s too late, taking care of your will today will give you peace of mind knowing that the ones you love will be taken care of when you are no longer around.

Common Misconceptions About Wills

When it comes to wills and estate planning, many people hold misconceptions that can lead to confusion or inaction. Understanding the truth behind these myths can empower you to make informed decisions about your estate. Here are some common misconceptions:

• Myth 1: "I don't have enough assets to need a will."
  Truth: Regardless of the size of your estate, a will is crucial for ensuring your wishes are honored and your loved ones are taken care of.
• Myth 2: "I can just write my will on a piece of paper."
  Truth: While handwritten wills can be valid in certain situations, they often lack the legal formalities required to ensure they are enforceable. It's best to work with a legal professional.
• Myth 3: "Only older adults need a will."
  Truth: Life is unpredictable, and having a will is essential for adults of all ages, especially if you have dependents or specific wishes for your assets.
• Myth 4: "My spouse will automatically inherit everything."
  Truth: Without a will, state laws dictate how your assets will be distributed, which may not align with your wishes.
