Estate planning helps ensure that all your final wishes are carried out upon your death. Part of estate planning is preparing a will that allows the transfer your property and money to specific people, or charities, after your death. Every adult should have a will. A will is a legally binding declaration of a person’s wishes dealing with the transfer of their estate after death, and can also address important things like who will take care of your dependent children if you’re a single parent, or if both you and your spouse pass away at the same time.

It’s extremely important to have a will because without one, no one is legally able to settle your affairs without going through the courts. That can take a long time and be very stressful for those left behind.
