First things first: Without a will, there is no mechanism in place to make a bequest. Protect those you love, protect your assets and protect your wishes by always having an up-to-date will.
Discuss with your lawyer whether your situation and wishes warrant having specific bequests as part of your estate plan.
Your estate planning lawyer can address all aspects of bequests and explain the ins and outs to you. In the end, their goal will be to leave you satisfied with the bequests you make or your choice not to make one.
