Preparing a will to tell your family what you leave behind and what you wish to see done with your property, can be a wonderfully caring gesture. Your family will be devastated that you're gone. You don't want them to also be devastated about their own future as well. Making sure that you distribute your property among them in the fair way can be a great way of letting them handle their situation with dignity. Preparing a will though doesn't have to be a difficult and drawn-out legal procedure.
Preparing a will is something you could do yourself. There are three ways you could do this. One would be to just simply write down everything that you think should be done with your property on a piece of paper and to sign it. We live in a country where in lots of states, even a verbal agreement is considered binding. You’d better believe that the courts will consider this piece of paper that you've signed a valid document. It costs you nothing and it's simple.
Of course, since you doing this without legal counsel, it's possible that you’re leaving something out. And of course, if someone challenges the document or says it's a forgery or something, there's very little that anyone can do to say otherwise.
