The Will and the Probate Process Should Not Confuse You
The importance of having a will is clear for many people and it should be something that people at least consider in their life. Some parties will tell you that everyone should have a will and although there is no harm in having a will, perhaps a person with no money or assets should have no great rush to complete a will. However, for many people, there will be a good reason to complete a will and it should offer great peace of mind for people.
It should be remembered that wills are not only for the elderly because who knows when a person may pass away. Road accidents happen every day and there can be many times when a seemingly healthy person drops dead with no warning. This is not to put a level of fear into anyone but having a will means that in even the most unforeseen circumstances, your loved ones will be taken care of. This is particularly prevalent if you have children of a young age as it is important to ensure that they will be properly looked after. If you have someone in mind that you would like to look after the children, it is important to have this included within the will.
If you have money or assets that can be passed on, these can be specified to go to particular people or to be held until a certain time and then be released to people. There are set provisions for the distribution of assets in the event of there being no will or no specific reference being made but if you have a set intention in mind, it is important to state this in the will.
Many people also like to set up a will because it allows them to specify terms for their own funeral. A lot of people do not like to think about their own funeral and it is left to the next of kin and funeral directors to arrange but some people prefer to make the decision of their accord. The funeral can be arranged in great detail in the will or a few pointers can be included to ensure certain aspects are adhered to or followed. A will allows you to take control of many of the aspects which may cause people concern or consternation after you pass away and can save a lot of squabbling and arguing between family members. Preparing a will allows you to leave behind a legacy to others but it also allows you to pass on in the manner that you wish to.
