I've heard that it's important to have a will, but I'm not sure how it works. Can you explain it to me?

A will is a legal document that expresses your wishes about who should receive your assets after you die. It can include instructions for distributing property and appointing guardians for minor children. The will should be drafted by an attorney and signed in front of two witnesses. If you don't have a will, the state will decide how your property is distributed according to its laws.
