Estate Planning Lawyer – What Age Should I Start Making a Will?

Putting together a will is a daunting task. But it is important to do so as soon as you have assets. A will is an easy way to ensure your wishes are carried out when you pass away.

Documents

A will is a legal document that lays out your wishes for who should inherit your property. The documents should cover everything from the size of your estate to who will be the executor. A Will also includes instructions for any guardians you may choose.

Legal age to make a Will

The legal age to make a Will is 18 years old in most states. However, there are some exceptions. Among them are minors who are in the military, economically independent, or in a relationship. In addition, some states allow people to make a Will when they are married.

Things to consider when making a Will

Although the legal age to make a Will is pretty young, you should still consider making a Will if you have children. You will need to decide on a guardian and make sure your children are adequately cared for in the event of your death.

The first and most obvious reason to make a Will is to make sure your children are properly represented in the event of your death. You will also want to make sure your wishes are carried out if you become incapacitated.

Power of Attorney

It is also prudent to have a Healthcare Power of Attorney in place. This will allow you to give someone the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.
