Wills

A Will is a document that lets you tell the Probate Court:

	who will manage and distribute your estate;
	who will inherit your estate;
	who will raise your minor children; and
	the age you want your children to receive their inheritance, rather than age eighteen (18), as required by law

If your assets are under $50,000 (both real estate and personal), a Will is adequate. In addition, you should have a General Durable Power of Attorney, a Healthcare Power of Attorney and a Living Will.

IMPORTANT

	A Will does NOT avoid probate
	If you are divorced..... and do not have a Will, it is possible that your former spouse (or the natural parent of your child if you were never married) could get all of your estate if something were to happen to you and your minor children.
