What is a Will?

A will is a legally binding document that outlines how your assets—including real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, and personal property—will be distributed after your death. A properly prepared will also designates guardians for minor or disabled children and ensures your wishes are carried out clearly and efficiently.

If you have blended families, young children, or specific wishes for how your estate should be handled, a will is essential. Without one, your loved ones may face unnecessary court delays and disputes during an already difficult time.

Types of Wills:

  • Last Will and Testament: A basic will that outlines how your assets and property should be distributed upon your death.
  • Living Will: A document specifying your medical treatment preferences in the event you become unable to communicate due to illness or injury.
  • Joint Will: A single will made by two people, usually a married couple, outlining the distribution of their estate after both have passed.

The Benefits of Wills

  • Control Over Your Estate: Ensure your property, finances, and other assets are distributed according to your wishes.
  • Guardianship for Children: Designate trusted individuals to care for minor or disabled children.
  • Avoid Probate Delays: Proper planning helps your family avoid drawn-out court processes.
  • Minimize Family Conflicts: Clearly outline your intentions to reduce disagreements among family members.
  • Protect Financial Security: Trusts help safeguard assets for vulnerable beneficiaries and reduce the risk of mismanagement.

The Cost of Not Having Legal Representation

Without the guidance of a skilled lawyer for wills, you risk leaving your family to navigate complicated court processes, disputes, and financial headaches.

If your loved one dies without a will, the estate may be tied up in court, requiring family members to prove their relationship to the deceased. This creates added stress and unnecessary hurdles during an already emotional time.

Improperly drafted wills can also lead to:

  • Disputes over beneficiaries
  • Incorrect asset distribution
  • Loss of eligibility for public benefits (in special needs cases)
  • Increased probate costs and delays

At Goodwyn Law Firm, we help ensure your documents are properly prepared, avoiding these risks and giving your family the support they need when it matters most.
