There are so many reasons to create a will this month, but here are three big ones to consider:
Direct Your Property: Creating a will tells the courts how you want your property distributed. Without a will, state laws will determine how your estate is divided, which may not align with your intentions.
Provide instructions to the probate court: A will can help manage the probate process, providing instructions to the court.
Designate Guardianship for Minor Children: If you have minor children, a will allows you to appoint a guardian to care for them. This crucial step directs that your children are raised by someone you trust, rather than leaving the decision to the courts.
