5 Reasons to do Your Will Now!

5 Reasons to do Your Will Now…

1. Your Will is a legal document that directs who you want to receive your property and who you want to act as your Estate’s Personal Representative (also known as Executor). If you die without a Will (dying ‘intestate’), then the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code, specifically, the rules of intestacy, will determine the formula for distribution of your estate.

2. Your Will expresses your wishes for who you want to be the guardian of your children. While your wishes are not final, they are highly influential on the Court’s final decision in appointing the guardian(s) of your children.

3. Dying without a Will (‘intestate’) results in a much longer probate process, possible higher costs, and may even cause litigation among your family members.

4. Having a Will allows you to leave special heirlooms and gifts to specific beneficiaries. Without a Will, it is unlikely that these items will make it into the hands of the people want.

5. Bottom line – your Will provides you, your family and your friends with peach of mind. By planning for the future now, you can stop worrying and start living.
