The Introduction Of Writing A Will
It is not surprising that some young adults as early as 18 years old are already considering writing a will. You have probably heard of teenagers getting huge earnings from online businesses and that is only a clear indication that even if you have just reached the age of 18, you can choose to write a will.
Reaching the legal age means a lot of things for young adults. Not only can they have additional privileges in the community, they are now also protected from illegal elements who are eyeing at getting their wealth by force. Having a will, serves as a protection for anyone who thinks of the future of their family and loved ones.
A legal document that tells the executor how to handle someone's real and personal properties is called a will. It is a legal document executed according to the stipulations indicated by the testator or the one who created the will. Aside from properties, it can also include the guardians of your children in the event of death.
The most commonly used will is the written or formal will. If you are decided to create your will, the first thing that you must do is to assign an executor. Basically, upon your death, the executor will carry out the contents and wishes indicated in your will. After which, you now need to prepare the contents of the will. Make sure that you write legal names, beginning with your name, your executors and your beneficiaries. Nicknames are not legally accepted. Writing a sentence which confirms your mental state is also necessary to prove that you are not forced or pressured while writing a will.
Of course, you do not automatically start with the distribution of your wealth. You start by making sure that the funeral arrangements are taken cared of according to your desires. Usually, the spouse or a first degree relative handles this, but in the event that there are no relatives or immediate family, your significant other can take on this role.
Following this portion is the naming of the guardian of your children especially if there are simultaneous deaths of parents or if you are a widow. The next aspect is the details of the beneficiaries. Usually, it is the spouse who inherits the properties but if this is not applicable then you can make other assignments for your properties.
And lastly, the signatures of the witnesses who will attest that you are indeed the one who created the testament and your signature. Your witnesses cannot be your beneficiaries. You can also have it notarized.
It may be hard for someone to write a will but this is inevitable to fix inheritance issues early on. You already have the peace of mind. Let your family have that too. - 23222
