What are Wills and How Do They Work?

Wills are legal documents that allow individuals to specify how they would like their assets to be distributed after they die. Individuals can also use wills to appoint guardians for minor children and pets and to outline the distribution of their assets. Wills must be executed in accordance with state law in order for them to be valid. No one knows when their time will come, but it is important to be prepared for death nonetheless. Another important thing to do in preparation for death is to create a living will. A living will is a legal document that allows you to specify your end-of-life medical care preferences. This can be extremely helpful for your loved ones in the event that you are unable to communicate your wishes yourself. Creating a will and living will give you the peace of mind of knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of according to your wishes, even if you are no longer able to do so yourself. If you do not have a will or living will in place, now is the time to create one.
