What Happens If You Do Not Have a Will?
Many people assume their assets will automatically pass to the person they intend to benefit. However, without a valid Will, your estate may be distributed according to the applicable intestacy laws rather than your personal wishes.
Estate Distribution
Your assets may be distributed according to statutory entitlements, which may not reflect your preferred arrangements.
Estate Administration
Your family may need to apply for Letters of Administration before administering your estate.
Family Arrangements
Your intentions concerning executors, guardianship and the management of assets for young beneficiaries may not be formally documented.

A Will Is More Than a Document.
It is an opportunity to record your wishes, provide for the people you care about, and make arrangements for your estate.
