If you have a written will, it is much more likely that what you want to happen when you die will actually happen - and in the way that you want it to, e.g. how your dependent children will be provided for, and what happens to any property and treasured possessions you may own.
A will is essentially a set of instructions on what you want to happen after your death, especially regarding any property you own.
We get lots of calls from members of families who are in disagreement after the death of a loved one. Spending $300-400 to write a will now can save a lot of distress, and a lot of money, if there is a dispute.
