Will and Testament Writing

A will is a legal document that directs the disposition of your assets after someone’s death. It does not take effect until after the death of the person who wrote the will, also called a testator.

No matter your age or financial status, it’s never too early or too late to think about writing a will.

We live in uncertain world. People can die unexpectedly at any age and at any time as a result of car crash, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, homicide, serious illness or other tragic events.

A person who dies without a will is called “intestate,” and in that situation, the state laws regarding inheritance determine asset distribution regardless of what the deceased person may have wanted. That is, under intestacy laws, a distant relative could end up inheriting a deceased person's estate instead of his or her lifelong companion. A last will ensures that a testator’s wishes regarding asset distribution is followed and that the state’s intestacy laws do not kick in.

It doesn’t take much time to write your “Will” statement. It can be done at law office for fee or online.
