Why Everyone Needs a Will — No Matter Your Age or Wealth

When we hear the word “will,” many of us picture someone older, wealthy, and surrounded by lawyers. But the reality is this: a will is something everyone should have, regardless of age, financial status, or family size.

A will is much more than just a legal document — it’s a declaration of love and responsibility. It ensures your belongings are passed on according to your wishes, names guardians for your children if you have them, and designates someone you trust to handle your affairs. Without a will, those decisions may be left to the state, often resulting in outcomes you never would have chosen.

More importantly, a will eases the burden on your family. Losing a loved one is painful enough — the last thing anyone needs is added confusion, delays, or disagreements. Your will gives your family the comfort of knowing they’re honoring your wishes. It helps them focus on healing, not navigating legal uncertainty.

Even if you think you “don’t own much,” your personal belongings, sentimental items, and even digital assets matter. And if you have dependents or pets, a will becomes even more essential.

The process doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. It starts with a conversation — one that brings clarity, peace of mind, and control over the future.
