Deciding to create a simple will and Powers of Attorney is one of the best gifts you can give to your loved ones. Having a will in place when you pass away eliminates the confusion and uncertainty that comes with dying intestate (without a Will). A simple will provides your loved ones with a roadmap for how you wish your assets to be distributed and lets you appoint an Executor to oversee the administration of your estate.
Having a simple will is important if:
- You own assets and/or property that will need to be distributed after your death and you want to decide how those assets and property are distributed.
- You want to choose the people or organizations that will receive your property after your death.
- You want to appoint the person or organization who will carry out the terms of the will.
- You want to nominate a Guardian for minor children. (A Guardian is someone who will be legally responsible for your children if the other parent is unable to serve as the natural guardian.)
- you want to designate one person, or more than one person, the authority to manage your property and personal care on your behalf if you become unable to do so.
