Do I Need A Will? – Rowe Lawfirm

Do I Need A Will?

No one enjoys thinking about his or her eventual death or incapacity. However, taking some time to think about your final wishes can have tremendous benefits for you and your loved ones. At the Rowe & Manning Law Firm LLC, we are committed to helping individuals and families plan for the future. We can help you determine what estate planning tools are right for you, then develop strong documents to protect your interests.

A last will and testament has many benefits for you and the loved ones you may leave behind. Properly drafted, a will can allow you to:

• Determine who inherits which of your assets and property after your death
• Name a guardian for your minor children in the event of your incapacity or death
• Create a trust for your heirs
• Minimize estate tax liability

What Happens If I Die Without A Will In Place?

Louisiana has complex estate planning laws in place that govern who inherits a decedent’s property after his or her death. Your children, spouse, siblings, nieces and nephews are all part of Louisiana’s order of inheritance. If you would like certain individuals to inherit particular assets — or if you wish to exclude anyone from receiving your property — a will allows you to make those wishes known.
