Why Do I Need a Will?

A will is simply a formal way of setting forth your wishes regarding how you would like your property distributed upon your death.  You should consider a will whether you are single, married, have minor children, or own even a small amount of personal assets or property.  In fact, every adult should have a will or other means to control the disposition of their assets.  If you have not formalized your intentions, your estate may meet with unnecessary and costly litigation, adding to the grief experienced by your survivors. Avoiding the financial and emotional turmoil of will contests and other legal wrangling starts with choosing an experienced estate planning attorney .
