Question

Using 125 words or more, write a short paragraph discussing the reasons why someone should make a wil

Answer 1

You've probably got one of those "need to do eventually but not today" lists residing somewhere in your brain. Eat more salad. Paint the bathroom. Jog 30 minutes a day. Learn a foreign language. And while you normally hit snooze when these mental reminders go off in your brain, it may just be the one time when you might actually make an effort to get one or two of these items moved into the "let's do soon" list. The possibilities of a new year always seem to inspire those infamous resolutions and get us jump started on things we should have done a long time ago. But before you get carried away with this year's list, why don't you pencil in "write a will" at the top? Believe it or not, getting your will done this year might turn out to be the most important resolution you can make. First and foremost, think about your kids. You've made a lifelong commitment to love and nurture them, but you can only carry out your desires on this side of the grave. If you haven't made provision for their guardianship upon your death, then the courts and the law will make that decision for you. Do you want the determination of your children's care and training entrusted to a faceless legal system? If not, then for no other reason write a will so that you can be the one to decide who will best raise and love your children when you aren't around to do it yourself.

Answer 2

A will tells everyone what will happen to your money, possessions, and property when you die. There are many reasons to make a will. First, it will be easier for your family and friends to sort everything out. Without a will, it can be very stressful and time consuming to figure out how to allocate everything. Plus, if you don't have a will the law will decide how to allocate it and this might not be the way you want it. It can be especially important to write a will if you have children or other family that depend on you financially. This way, you can leave them the most possible to help them even when you are no longer alive. By writing a will, you can decrease the amount of inheritance tax that might need to be paid on any property and money that you will leave behind. Ultimately, by writing a will you will be able to decide who you leave your money, possessions, and property to when you die which can be very important to some individuals.
