Last Will and Testament for a Single Person (FL)

Having an up-to-date last will and testament is one of the best ways you can control what happens to your assets after you die. It can give you peace of mind knowing your assets will be distributed as you see fit.

It's also one of the best methods to help your loved ones as they settle your affairs. They won't have to wonder what you "would have wanted," and won't be burdened by as many difficult decisions during their time of grief.

With your last will and testament, you can do things like name people or organizations to inherit from you, nominate guardians for minor children, leave money to care for pets, and appoint a personal representative (sometimes called an executor) to manage the process of distributing your estate.

Leaving clear instructions in a legally binding last will and testament will make life, and death, easier.

This last will and testament is designed for an unmarried person who does not have a large or complex estate. It's not designed to help with tax or long-term care planning.
