Wills for Parents

Parents should make a will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes after they pass away. A will is a legal document that outlines how a person's assets will be distributed, who will be responsible for managing the estate, and who will take care of any minor children.

If parents do not have a will, their assets will be distributed according to the laws of their state, which may not align with their wishes. Additionally, if parents do not name a guardian for their minor children, the court will decide who will take care of them. This can lead to potential conflicts and uncertainty for the children's future.

Making a will can also help minimize the time and cost of probate, the legal process of settling an estate, and reduce the likelihood of disputes among family members.

In summary, parents should make a will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes, to name a guardian for their minor children, and to minimize the potential for conflicts and legal issues after they pass away.
