Let’s bust a myth right off the bat: You do not need to be rich to need a will.

In fact, if you own anything—a car, a checking account, a pet, even that collection of vintage records or the family recipe book—you already have something worth protecting. A will isn’t about how much you have—it’s about making sure what you do have goes exactly where you want it to.

So… Who Actually Needs a Will?

Here’s a quick checklist. If you say yes to even one of these, it’s time to get a will:

✅ I have a bank account or own a car

✅ I live with a partner or have kids

✅ I care who gets my belongings when I’m gone

✅ I have personal items with sentimental value

✅ I want to leave something to friends or a favorite charity

✅ I want to avoid family drama later on

Sound like you? Then, guess what—you need a will.

What Happens If You Die Without a Will?

It’s called dying “intestate,” and it means the state decides who gets what. That could look like:

  • Your estranged uncle is getting your savings

  • Your partner receives nothing if you’re not married

  • A judge choosing who will raise your kids or care for your pets

  • Long, drawn-out court processes for your family

And all of that can happen, even if your estate isn’t worth millions.

What a Will Really Does

A will is about control and clarity, not cash. It lets you:

  • Decide who inherits your stuff (no matter how big or small)

  • Name a guardian for your children or pets

  • Choose someone to carry out your wishes (your executor)

  • Leave special messages or gifts to people you love

  • Give back to causes that matter to you

And yes, you can do all that even if you’re not living in a mansion.
