A will is the primary estate planning document. Whether your assets are significant or modest, a will allows you to determine who will inherit your property, bank accounts, pension plans, and other assets. A will also allows you to make arrangements for the care of your children.

A will allows a person to determine the disposition of property after death while he or she is still living. Writing a will also provides people with the opportunity to:

• Name a guardian for minor children
• Develop advance heath care directives, or living wills, to lay out your wishes for end of life care and medical treatment should you be unable to speak for yourself
• Give another person a durable power of attorney to administer your affairs should you become incapable of taking care of your finances or life needs

We advise our clients to think ahead when any important life change occurs. If you marry, divorce, develop a chronic illness, have a child, or experience radical changes in your financial situation, you should talk with us to review your existing will or create a new one.
