Do you have a will? Do you need one?
Without a will, you have no say in how your property will be distributed, churches/charities can get nothing, your dependents may not get enough, your children may receive too much too soon, you have no opportunity to select a guardian, your estate may have to pay more taxes, your funds/property may be frozen in probate, and your family may/will fight over it.
As an introduction to estate planning, this video will help you discover what questions you need to ask and what options you should consider in your will.
