A will is a written, legal document. In a will, you can do such things as:
- Name the people and organizations that you choose to receive your property – both personal property and real estate
- Name the person you wish to be guardian for your unmarried children under age 18, and disabled children over age 18, in the event that there is no surviving parent.
- Name your “Personal Representative” (the person, bank, or corporation that you wish to handle your affairs after your death) and an alternate personal representative
- In some cases, avoid or minimize, in a legal way, any taxes your estate or your family may owe
- Make special provisions, perhaps by means of a trust, for the care of a family member who may have a special need
In general, a will provides a way to avoid many problems that can occur when you die. The attorneys at Flaherty Gallardo can help navigate you through planning your will.
