Everyone needs a Last Will and Testament. Its purpose, however, is rarely understood.

Its primary function is to name your personal representative and to designate guardians of minor children.

A Last Will and Testament is also used to distribute personal property. It should not be the instrument used to pass on assets to heirs. A Last Will used incorrectly absolutely ensures a Probate!

Do you have an updated Last Will and Testament?
