Estate Planning
Why Every Adult in the DMV Needs a Will
Sample / placeholder post. Demonstrates a second collection entry and category. Replace with real migrated content.
If you die without a will, the law of your state — not you — decides who inherits your assets and who is appointed to raise your minor children. For most people, that alone is reason enough to put a will in place.
What a will actually does
- Directs who receives your assets.
- Names an executor to carry out your wishes.
- Names guardians for minor children.
A will is a starting point, not the whole plan
For many families, a will works best alongside trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — a coordinated plan rather than a single document.
