I'm starting a new business I need help running my business Wills & Estate Planning

Why do I need a Will?

 

A: It is shocking that fully 70% of Americans die without a legally valid will.  A will, which is simply a written legal declaration that enables you to direct the disposition of your assets upon your death, is an essential document that all individuals, married or unmarried, wealthy or of modest means, must have to ensure desired distribution of assets upon their passing.

Significant risk results in the absence of thoughtful end of life planning.  If you die without a will, the assets of your estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy in the state of your domicile regardless of your personal intent.  Custody of minor children will be decided by a judge unfamiliar with intra-family relationships.  And unmarried significant others will not be entitled to any of your estate.  These examples are but a few of the harms that result absent a will.  Simply put, thorough estate planning is a must.
