Where there is a will, there's a way
A will is one of the most important documents you can prepare to protect your heirs. Establishing a sound plan of distribution of assets to insure the safe and appropriate upbringing of your children and other dependents is critical.
Many people overlook this simple document laboring under the misapprehension that they aren't going to die. Who wants to think about dying? The unfortunate fact is that we all do, and none of us control the moment when it happens.
A will is a document in which you instruct your executor as to the disposition of your assets. The executor is the individual/or corporation responsible to you, your heirs, and the probate court, for doing the things that you have set out in your will.
