How to Create a Will

                  Tips At some point, we’ve all gotta go. When you die, the last thing you want to do is leave your grieving friends and family with a bunch of legal issues to battle during an already-awful time. That’s why, even if it’s unpleasant to think about right now, you need a last will and testament for after you’re gone. What Is a Will? A will (or “last will and testament”) is a document that spells out what should happen to your assets after you die. It also designates guardianship of your children (and ownership of your pets), so even if you don’t own a bunch of property or have a bunch of assets, it’s a good idea to have a will. There are a couple of basic options for creating one: Do It Yourself Using a Template If your situation is simple (you don’t have many assets), you can write your own will for free. You can browse templates online and completely do this yourself, or you can use a service like  RocketLawyer  or  Willing  (using a service is a better option).
