A will is a document that passes an individual’s property to others at the time of death. In order to be a valid will, the will must meet the requirements of state law. If you die without a will, then the state law determines who will inherit your property. This determination is based on a number of factors, such as whether or not you are currently married, previously divorced, have children from a previous marriage and which of your relatives are still living. A will is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that your property is passed according to your wishes.
