A will instructs how your money and material assets will be distributed to your beneficiaries after you pass away. A will can also state your wishes for who will take care of your minor children in the event of your death.
Plan for the future and make sure your wishes are known before it’s too late. Contact our firm in Phoenix to get started by calling 602-234-5900.
The State Will Decide What Happens To Your Estate
Dying without a will means your wishes will be unknown and can lead to serious and heated exchanges between your loved ones. It also leaves your estate to be distributed according to intestate succession laws in Arizona.
Assets that would be distributed through a will are subject to intestate succession laws when you die without a valid will. This means any assets owned by you and does not include jointly owned assets like joint tenancy or community property or your retirement funds that have a designated beneficiary.
Dying without a will could result in your property and other assets going to a family member or the state if you do not have any family. Regardless of how the state decides to distribute your assets, the main point is that you are not getting a say in who receives your assets or what happens to your estate.
