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

  1. Directs who receives your assets.
  2. Names an executor to carry out your wishes.
  3. 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.
