A will is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets (property, money, possessions) after your death. It becomes effective only upon your death and has no legal authority before that point. You can specify beneficiaries, guardians for minor children, and even express your funeral wishes in your will.
Creating a will ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, rather than relying on intestacy laws. If you’re 18 or older and have mental capacity, you can create a will.
