What is a Will?

A will is a written document that specifies how you want your assets (i.e. real property, personal property, money, car, etc.) divided and distributed to your loved ones and/or a charity in the event of your death. It also spells out how dependents should be provided for and allows you to give your choice of guardians for your children. A will becomes irrevocable when you die.

Keep in mind that a will is just part of the estate planning process. Whether your estate is large or small, you probably need an estate plan. For more information on estate planning, call us at 206-782-0722.
