Why Should I Make My Will?
Making a will is something that most Americans do not do. In Fact more than 2/3th of Americans die without a will in place. Which means that your estate falls back on state laws for distribution. What most people fail to realize is that you don’t create a will for yourself but for those left behind, your family and loved ones who will have to deal with the aftermath. Creating clarity on your wishes is key to removing any confusion and that starts with a notarized will. Especially If you care for any underaged minors for example. You will want to nominate 1 or more guardians just in case something happens to you. Having a clear, legally binding will reduces the chances of family disagreements and confusion during an already tough time. You’d be surprised how often family arguments arise when it comes time to divvy up the loot. Plus, when everything is laid out plainly, the whole process goes a lot smoother for everyone involved.
