Lawyer Amy Holmes explains why drafting a last will is critical.
Today, I’m thrilled to introduce a special guest, Amy Holmes. She’s an accomplished attorney who has her own trust and estate law firm. She’s here to share her expertise on the importance of estate planning, particularly drafting wills.
Amy explains a will is critical because it’s the only way to ensure your wishes are respected, not only concerning your property and assets, but also how your family should be treated after your passing. The only way to feel confident about your wishes being carried out exactly as you want is to have a last will and testament drawn up by a competent attorney. Ensuring it’s validly executed, signed under oath with witnesses and a notary, is crucial. It’s also important to give a lot of thought to the content you include.
“Most people typically create a will after they have children due to the guardianship aspect.”
Amy shares that most people typically create a will after they have children due to the guardianship aspect. The consideration of who would care for their children if something tragic occurred is often the motivation that prompts people to draft their first will.
