Comprehensive Will Amendment Services in Dutchess, Westchester, and Putnam Counties

Having a Will is a very important part of an Estate Plan. The goal of a Will is to make sure your property goes to who you want when you pass away.

A Will is a document which is carefully prepared and signed in front of two witnesses. In a Will you list how and when you would like your assets to be handled and transferred, as well as naming an executor to manage your Estate.

Guardianship and Asset Distribution: The Pillars of a Will

Naming a Guardian of a minor is the most important issue normally found in a Will. Without a Will in place, your minor children may be appointed a Guardian that you do not desire. Also, you will not have any influence over how your taxes and debts will be handled.

Typically the person listed as a beneficiary on any of your policies or accounts, will take precedence over a person listed as a beneficiary in your Will. This is why it is so important to have an updated Will and a comprehensive Estate Plan.
