5 Reasons to Write a Will
At Dayes Law Firm, our team can help you create a will that reflects your unique circumstances and desires, ensuring that your loved ones know what your wishes are before you pass away and allowing you to better protect them after your death. There are many reasons to write a will, and we’ve compiled just a few of them here to help convince you to get started with yours if you don’t already have a will in place.
To Protect Your Family
Writing a will can help you protect your loved ones long after you’ve passed away. Via your will, you can appoint guardians for your minor children, guaranteeing they are cared for by people you trust. Writing a will also protects your family when it comes to securing certain assets for them.
To Manage Your Estate
Writing a will helps you determine who will manage your estate. With a will, you can be assured that your assets are distributed exactly how you want them to be and ensure that your property goes where and to whom you want it to. Without one, your estate and assets may be distributed according to your state’s laws and not dispersed in a way you’d prefer.
To Provide Charitable Contributions
You can support charities and causes you care about through your will. You can make a charitable gift in it and gift back, leaving a legacy you can be proud of and making a difference in the world even after you’re gone. A lawyer can help you determine how to best designate donations in a way that won’t complicate things for your loved ones and your estate.
To Minimize Family Stress
Losing a family member is hard enough without having to worry about assets and property and all the legalities involved with the things you’re leaving behind. By completing a will, you can clearly lay out how you want your estate to be handled and lessen the stress involved for your family members and loved ones. It can also help avoid conflict that can arise among your family when there are no instructions on how they should handle your assets without you there to offer insight.
To Protect Your Business
If you own a business, writing a will can help protect it after you’ve passed away, too, After all, it’s not just your personal belongings that need to be sorted out after your death. Having a will in place can help when it comes to passing your business to your heirs or the co-owners of your business and make that transition as smooth as possible, even given the sad circumstances.
