What Happens If You Don’t Have a Will

Creating a will might not be at the top of your to-do list, but it’s one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever make. A will is a legally binding document that outlines how you want your assets, property, and responsibilities distributed after your death.

What’s Included in a Will?

A Will typically covers:

·       Asset distribution – Who receives your money, property, and valuables

·       Guardianship – Who will care for your minor children

·       Executor appointment – The person responsible for managing your estate

·       Final wishes – Burial or funeral preferences, charitable donations, etc.

Having these instructions clearly laid out gives your loved ones peace of mind and prevents unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.

What Happens If You Die Without a Will?

If you die intestate (without a valid will), state laws decide how your estate is divided. This often means:

·       Your assets are split, even if it’s not what you wanted

·       Unmarried partners, stepchildren, or friends may receive nothing

·       A court-appointed guardian decides who raises your children

·       The process takes longer, costs more, and can create family disputes

In short, not having a Will leaves your legacy in the hands of the state—not your loved ones.
