“Today Ascentra is Making Sense of Wills.”

A will organizes your affairs in case something happens to you. 

In life, you can decide the how your property and assets are distributed, and name who will provide care for minor children, after your death. 

Some estimate that about 70% of Americans, do not have a will.  

If you don’t have a valid will, state laws will decide how your assets are distributed.  This may be the most important document you ever sign. 

You don’t have to own a sprawling mansion or have attorneys on payroll to create a will. The process of creating one is simple. 

An attorney can help draft one, tailored for your situation.  They should be revised with major life events like marriage, having children, and divorce.

There’s also online services that walk you through the process, and can produce one for a fee.  

While it is hard to talk about death with your family, putting it on paper can be easier. 

A will helps your loved ones honor your wishes, but most importantly can lessen their stress during a time of mourning.
