A will is the declaration in writing during a person's lifetime of how a person intends to dispose of his/her assets upon death.
Making a will is one of the most important steps you will take during your lifetime. Some persons choose not to take this step but having a will gives you peace of mind in knowing that the assets accumulated during your lifetime will go the person(s) of your choice.
A will is required to be in a prescribed form, therefore it is important to speak with an attorney when taking such an important step. Additionally, advice concerning disposition of assets; and the appointment of executors or other persons to manage the estate or part thereof is important when making a will.
A will takes effect on or after death, therefore during a person's lifetime, a will can be freely revoked or changed.
