Why create a Will?

Creating a Will affords you the ability to make decisions about your family and estate once you have passed away. Some advantages of a will include: leaving property to individuals of your choosing, naming a guardian to take care of your children, and selecting an executor for your will; someone who will carry out your wishes upon your death. While a will ensures your wishes are carried out, there is still the potential for your estate to pass through probate. Therefore, it is always recommended that clients complete both a will and a trust.
