What Can Happen If I Do Not Have a Will When I Die?
If you die without a will in place, your property and assets will be distributed according to the laws of your state of residence. This means that your wishes for how your property should be divided may not be carried out. Additionally, if you have minor children, the court will appoint a guardian for them. It is important to note that this guardian may not be the person you would have chosen yourself. Creating a will gives you the ability to control what happens to your property and assets after your death. Without a will, these things are left up to chance and an attorney practicing law in this area can help.
