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 document that states your wishes for the distribution of your assets after death. It can include instructions about who should receive your property, such as children or other relatives, and what should be done with any remaining assets. In order to create a valid will, you must provide information about yourself (such as your name, address, marital status, etc.), identify the people who are named in the will, and state your intentions clearly and succinctly. You may also need to consider whether there are any special circumstances that require further explanation. Once the will is signed by all parties involved, it becomes legally binding.
