Wills
When a person dies without having had made a will, the person’s money and property are distributed according to state law.
Similarly, if the person had children who are now minors, the state will decide who should raise the children, if the other parent is not available.
Obviously, creating a will is a necessity if you have children, but it is also a wise idea if you want to be sure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
Wills can be created by a lawyer. If your will is simple, you can use a software package to do it yourself. What makes a will legal is that it is signed by three people. In most states, your initials should also appear at the bottom of each page. A paralegal typing service can also help you prepare a will, and they will usually charge 50% of what an attorney would. If your will is uncomplicated, WillMaker by Nole Press is a good software package for creating wills.
