Why You Should Always Have a Will

For those who die without a will, the distribution of their estate can get ugly, which may very well be the case for the 50% of American adults who do not have a will. Further, there are those people who never reach an obvious point in their life when writing a will seems essential—unmarried, no children, no illness, and no brush with death. But what happens when you hit a milestone birthday, your relationship becomes more serious, or your niece starts talking about attending an expensive art college? Creating your estate plan will be essential even if all you care about is not putting your assets into the hands of politically connected lawyers, judges, and contractors.
