The Purpose of a Will

Wills and Estate Planning Lawyers

Creating a will is important if you want to be sure that your assets will be distributed after you die. Wills are legal documents that you write in order to leave your possessions to a specific person or group. A Will will also let you decide who will take care of your minor children.

What can Affect the Contents of a Will

Wills should be reviewed regularly to make sure that your wishes are being followed. Major life changes can affect the contents of your will, including marriage and the birth of a child. It is a good idea to get a lawyer to review your will if it isn’t current.

Excluding people in an inheritance

A Will may also be used to exclude certain people from your inheritance. For example, you may wish to leave your personal property to your heirs, but you might not want to give your ex-spouse an inheritance. You can also specify which charities you want your assets to go to.

You may also wish to set up a trust for your children’s financial needs. This will allow you to appoint a guardian for them. These can be hired by a social service agency or the court.

Components of a Will

The main components of a will include the testator, the executor, and the beneficiaries. The executor is the person or group that is in charge of distributing your estate. He or she can be a family member, a friend, or a professional.

The Executor

The executor is responsible for ensuring that your wishes are followed. If you have a large estate, you might want to hire an attorney to help you. You can also name an alternate executor.
