Do I need a will?

If you have children or own property, you should have a written estate plan no matter how large or small your estate is.  If you have a written estate plan, you have the peace of mind of knowing that upon your passing, your wishes will be carried out by whom you want and how you want. In addition to deciding who should manage your affairs, where your assets should go and when people should receive them, you can and should name guardians for your minor children.
