A will lets you name guardians for minor children, designate who handles your affairs, and specify asset distribution. It helps avoid confusion and reduces the chance of lengthy court involvement.
The executor should be someone you trust who can manage assets and handle probate. Consider naming alternates in case the first isn’t able to serve.
If you die without a will, California law decides how your assets are distributed, and guardianship for children is determined by the court. An estate plan can provide clearer, tailored decisions.
Yes, you can update or revoke a will at any time as circumstances change. Updates should be in writing, signed, and witnessed.
