Protect What Matters Most

If you've been around a while, you probably know that I am passionate about this subject! Let’s be honest… creating a will is one of those things that always lands on the “someday” list. But here’s the truth: it is one of the most loving and empowering steps you can take for yourself and your family. No matter your age or income, having a will in place gives clarity, protection, and peace of mind for the people you care about most.

Here are 11 powerful reasons to make it a priority:

1. You decide who inherits your possessions
   Without a will, the state decides how your belongings are divided. A will ensures that the people and causes you care about most are taken care of.
   

2. You can name guardians for your children
   If you have children under 18, a will allows you to choose who will lovingly care for them instead of leaving it up to the courts.
   

3. You can leave instructions for digital assets
   From online accounts to photos and files, your will lets you decide how your digital life is handled.
   

4. You choose the executor of your estate
   This is the person you trust to make sure your wishes are carried out. Naming them removes uncertainty and stress for your family.
   

5. You can specify your final wishes
   Whether it’s how you want to be remembered or specific instructions for your memorial, a will allows you to have a voice in the details.
   

6. The process and asset distribution move faster
   A clear will makes it easier for your loved ones to settle your affairs, avoiding long delays in the probate process.
   

7. You can provide for your pets
   Our pets are family too. A will ensures they are cared for and loved if you are no longer here to do so.
   

8. It helps prevent family disputes
   When your wishes are clearly spelled out, there is less room for misunderstandings or conflicts among family members.

9. It gives you and your family peace of mind
   Knowing that everything is in place reduces stress for you today and lifts a burden from your loved ones in the future.

10. It protects unmarried partners
    If you are not legally married, your partner may not be recognized under state laws. A will ensures they are cared for in the way you intend.
    

11. Your charitable donations are honored according to your wishes
    A will allows you to continue supporting causes close to your heart, leaving a legacy that reflects your values.

If you already have a will, wonderful! You are awesome for taking care of this step and SO in the minority!! Take a few minutes to review it and make sure it still reflects your current wishes. If you do not have one yet, now is the perfect time to take action.
