What is a Last Will and Testament?
A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that sets forth your preferences regarding asset distribution after death, such as who will inherit your personal belongings, your money, or your home.
The person making a Will is known as the "testator," while the individual or organization appointed to oversee the testator's estate after death is called the "executor." As a result of having this essential document, your executor(s) will have a point of reference for your decisions.
When can you use a Last Will and Testament?
- You'd like your property distributed according to your wishes after your death.
- You'd like to specify the people or organizations that will and will not receive your property after your death.
- You'd like to list the person or group who will carry out the terms of the last Will.
- You'd like to name who's responsible for minor children if their other parent is unable to take care of them.
- You want to ensure certain people can access your digital assets, such as saved documents, photos, email accounts, social media websites, online backup services, file sharing websites, domain names and other accounts or digital property.
- Note: If the value of what you own is going to be larger than the federal estate tax exemption amount, it's a good idea to get an attorney.
