Hey everyone, August is Make a Will Month! Let’s talk about why it’s so crucial to have your will sorted out, no matter how awkward those conversations might feel.
First off, having a will means your wishes on who gets what are clear and legally binding. It’s not just for the wealthy; everyone 18 years and older should have one to make sure their belongings and responsibilities (like who looks after the kids) go exactly where they want.
Without a will, you're leaving it up to state laws to figure out who gets your assets, and that might not match up with your personal wishes at all. Plus, it’s not just about money or property; it’s about making sure your family avoids unnecessary legal messes or disputes during what’s already a tough time.
And if you’re passionate about supporting a charity or a cause, a will can make sure some of your legacy keeps on giving even after you’re gone. Plus, this could also help trim down the tax man’s take from your estate.
But beyond all the practical stuff, creating a will gives you peace of mind. Knowing you’ve got everything in order means you can rest a little easier, and so can your family.
To help you get started, we’ve put together a handy guide called "The Essential Guide to Creating a Will." It’s free, and you can download it right from our site. It’s packed with all the info you need to draft a will that does exactly what you need it to do.
