4 Reasons You Need a Will

We thought it would be helpful to go over the basics of a will and what’s included. 

A will is a legal document that allows you to determine how your estate will be handled upon your death. Although everyone dies eventually, and every estate will have to be distributed at some point in the future, not everyone has a will in place or plans for what will happen to their estate at the time of their death. In fact, according to LexisNexis, over 50% of Americans do not have a will or other estate plan in place.  

There are four main reasons why having a will is beneficial:

1.    Having a will allows you to have control over who administers your estate after you die.

2.  Having a will allows you to designate a guardian for your minor children in the event of your death.
