Short on time? Here’s 5 quick reasons to make a!

1. You control who gets what
   Without a will, state law decides how your assets are distributed which may not reflect your true wishes.

2. Name a guardian for your children
   A will allows you to legally designate someone to care for your children if something happens to you.

3. Avoid family conflict
   Clearly outlining your intentions helps prevent disputes and confusion during an emotional time.

4. Speed up the probate process
   A well prepared will can streamline legal proceedings, saving time and reducing costs.

5. Handle debts and final wishes
   You can appoint an executor, specify funeral preferences, and plan for how debts or taxes should be managed.

These tips make it clear: a will isn’t just a legal formality, it’s a thoughtful way to protect your loved ones and your legacy.
