Make a will
Making and having a will is
one of the most important
documents you can haveduring your lifetime. Whilesome people may dismiss
having a will as having nobenefits to them when theydie, the execution of a willallow the smooth transition ofproperty and other assets toyour heir and beneficiary.
Having an executed will also
ensures that your tangible andintangible assets go to person(s) whom you have selected.
In the case of a male having
several children with different
mothers it is imperative thatyou have a will in placeespecially if you have a huge
portfolio. Upon your death,your assets are distributed toyour children and beneficiary
based on the direction given inyour will.
Often, we have seen theestates of famous musicians
and artists entangled in costly
litigation with brothers against
sisters, children against
business partners and withprobate court deciding
property distribution for you.
Would it have been better forthe overall situation if you had
made that decision rather thandeferred it to the courts?
Remember if you have a will inplace and you get married,
your existing will be revoked,
and you will need to make a
new will.

agency to learn more.
