NJ Seniors Seek Simple Wills
You probably have read and heard throughout your life that if all you is take care of your legal affairs, you should write a will. That’s great advice. Keep in mind that when you don’t make a will before your death, then state law will determine who gets your property – the bad news it may not be whom you would have chosen!
What might be worse.. is a judge may decide who will raise your children. In your will, you can make these decisions yourself. Forget the fancy trusts you’ve heard about: most people can get by with only a basic will.
Maybe all you need is a basic will, you can confidently use a good self-help book or software to make a legally binding will that:
- leaves your property to the people and organizations you choose
- names a guardian to care for your minor children if you can’t
- names someone to manage property you leave to minor children (yours or someone else’s), and
- names your executor, the person with authority to make sure that the terms of your will are carried out.
