People often put off writing their wills and planning their estates. It’s natural to want to avoid thinking about the end of life. But you can gain tremendous peace of mind right now by resolving to take care of these important tasks.
With a will, you can make sure that your wishes will be honored. You can leave instructions for exactly how you want your property and other assets to be distributed, how your remaining bills should be paid, and who you want to take care of any minor children or pets you leave behind. You can also specify whether you want to have a burial or cremation, and whether you want to donate any organs. You can change your will at any time, as long as you have the mental capacity to do so.
