Have you ever wondered if your family knows exactly what your wishes are? National Make-A-Will Month is a perfect opportunity to take a moment and review or create your last will and testament. Planning ahead ensures that your loved ones are taken care of and that your estate is distributed according to your wishes.
Many people think last will and testament planning is only for the wealthy, but every family benefits from clear guidance and legal documents. A well-prepared last will and testament works alongside other estate planning tools like durable powers of attorney and health care planning tools to give your family clarity and reduce stress during difficult times.
If you have minor children, your last will and testament can designate guardianship and provide instructions for their care. For families with blended households or multiple heirs, thoughtful planning helps avoid confusion and potential disputes.
It is also important to store your estate planning tools in a safe and accessible place. Make sure your executor and trusted family members know where to find them so your wishes can be carried out quickly and efficiently.
