There are several benefits to having a will, but the main reason one would want a Will is to ensure that the decision of where your assets and belongings go remains your decision. According to the probate laws of Alabama, if you die without a Will, the government will decide where your assets go through the process of intestate succession. These laws don't take into account any particular wishes or circumstances of the person who has passed. If you have a Will you can designate who will act as the executor of your estate. You can help ensure that the probate process is less expensive for your family. You can name the guardians of any minor children you may have. You can leave property to a charity or individuals who are not your immediate relative. Simply put: you can maintain control over how your estate is administered.
