When most people think about writing a will, they picture someone older, wealthy, and surrounded by stacks of legal papers. But here’s the truth: if you’re over 18 and own anything—a car, a bank account, a pet—you probably need a will.
A will isn’t just for the wealthy. It’s a simple but powerful document that puts you in control of what happens to your belongings, your loved ones, and even your legacy after you’re gone. Here’s why it matters—no matter your age or income.

1. You Decide What Happens to Your Stuff

Without a will, the state decides who gets your property—and it may not be who you’d choose.

A will ensures:

  • Your belongings go to the people (or charities) you choose

  • Sentimental items land in the right hands

  • Digital assets (like photos, videos, or online accounts) are handled the way you want

2. You Choose Who Cares for Your Children or Pets

If you’re a parent or pet owner, this one’s huge.

Without a will, the court may appoint a guardian based on state law—not your wishes. A will lets you:

  • Name guardians for your minor children

  • Leave instructions for their upbringing

  • Ensure your pets go to someone who’ll love them as much as you do

3. You Make Things Easier for Your Family

Grief is hard enough. Don’t add confusion and legal headaches to the mix.

Having a will:

  • Reduces the chance of family conflict

  • Helps your loved ones avoid lengthy court processes

  • Provides clear guidance during a stressful time
