Last Will and Testament

A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that outlines how a person's assets will be distributed after their death. It specifies who will inherit property, possessions, and money, and may also appoint guardians for any minor children. The will must be created according to specific legal requirements to be valid, such as being signed and witnessed. By having a will, an individual can ensure their wishes are respected, reduce potential conflicts among heirs, and simplify the process of settling their estate. It's an important tool for effective estate planning.
