How having a Will can be beneficial for you!

1. How having a Will can be beneficial for you! When there’s a Will, there’s a way! Not everyone does think about “what ifs” after we’re gone, but there is one thing sure. Passing your hard-earned money and assets to your loved one is important. If not for them, but for your contentment. You definitely do not want the state to cease your property and take it under its jurisdiction after your death. Who does not need a will? If you are young, childless, pet less and broke, you may not need a Will. On the contrary if you have worked hard throughout your life and have built valuable properties, you definitely need a Will. Who will take care of your children? What about your pets? Who will pay for their care? Estate planning is really about planning for the future of your loved ones and loved things left behind—family, furry friends, even charities or organizations that are near and dear to your heart.

Before you create a Will, you must know what are the other benefits of having a Will and testament. •Freedom to leave estate or specific assets to friends/institutions. Without a Will, only family members-or the state, stand to inherit your property. •Underline the name of guardian for your minor children or dependent with special needs. •Prevent family conflicts or confusion on matters regarding your estate. Writing a will states the instructions you would like your inheritors to follow. •Give your estate to someone or an organization if you don’t have any living relatives. This is because, in the absence of living relatives, your estate goes to the state. •Create trusts. A trust fund allows you to set aside assets such as money, property, stock for the benefit of another, in a fund managed by a neutral third party called a trustee. The most common trusts facilitate asset protection, asset accumulation, or keeping assets in the family. •Address asset distribution in a blended family, as well as what happens after divorce or remarrying. •Name a personal representative who will file the Will with the probate court for validation, manage and distribute the estate. •Set in motion a business succession plan.
