Essential: Draft A Will

Draft Your Will and Designate an Executor

One of the most critical steps in end-of-life planning is creating a will. A will allows you to specify how your assets will be distributed, who will care for any minor children, and who will carry out your wishes after your death. It’s essential to designate an executor who will manage the process of distributing your estate according to your instructions. This person should be trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling any challenges that arise during the probate process.

Why It’s Essential to Designate an Executor

Tips for drafting your will:

• List all your assets (property, investments, bank accounts, etc.) and who will receive them.

• Choose an executor who is willing and able to take on this responsibility.

• Consider creating a living will (advance healthcare directive) and a healthcare power of attorney so your medical wishes are clear.
