It may be unpleasant, but it’s important that you make proper plans for the distribution of your belongings after you die by writing a will. A lot of people think it’s ‘too soon’ and don’t take care of the matter. Those who die without a will are said to have died intestate, which simply means without a will; this means that the full responsibility for the distribution of your assets will fall on a judge you don’t know, and you will have no say in the matter. You don’t absolutely need a lawyer to draft a will, but it is highly advisable. An improperly worded will can cause legal complications after you pass away, and it’s common for people fight over an estate after someone has died.
