Will
According to a 2021 Gallup poll, only 46% of Americans have a will that describes the distribution of their money and possessions after their death. 76% of Americans 65 years or older polled by Gallup have a will verses 36% of Americans 30-49 years of age. 1
By not having a will, you die “intestate” and whatever you owned at death will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy. This means that the Probate Court will decide who gets what of your estate by using the laws of intestacy. Probate Court is a very long and expensive process.
By having a self-proved will done before you pass away, this will aide your family in avoiding costly probate fees to probate your estate and will allow for you to determine who exactly you want to inherit from you.
