What is a will?
A will, often called a ‘last will and testament’, is a document written by an individual (the ‘testator’) stating what will happen to all his or her monies, property and other assets (collectively called ‘the estate’) when he or she dies.
When should I make a will?
The simple answer is that it is never too early or too late to make a will, but the best time is NOW.
Everyone of adult age should have a will.
If I die without a will, who gets my assets?
When someone dies without a will, he or she dies ‘intestate’. In each state, the law has arrangements for this which detail who gets what from the deceased’s estate and how this process is to be administered. To do this, an executor (sometimes called an administrator) will be appointed to dispose of the estate.
