Course Description
Having a will is important for many reasons, however giving directions to an Executor, is one of the most important and valuable reasons. A will ensures that your assets and personal possessions are divided up among those individuals you wish to inherit them. Without a legally valid document setting this out, your estate will not necessarily be bequeathed according to your wishes.
