August is Make a Will Month, a reminder to secure your assets and treasured
possessions with a proper estate plan.
A Will is a legal document that allows you to decide what happens to these things and who will care for your children (or pets!) if something happens to you.
Why do you need a Will? Here are 5 crucial reasons:
- Make your wishes known.
Without a Will, state laws will divide your estate without your input. - Minimize disputes.
A Will helps clarify your wishes, reducing the potential for family conflicts over your assets. - Provide for your children.
If something happens to you, you decide who will care for your minor children. - Provide clarity.
Distribute your assets to family, charities, or other meaningful causes according to your wishes. - Peace of mind.
People with Wills are 40% more likely to feel peaceful and confident about the future1.
