Wills aren’t just for the rich. Learn why having a will protects your family — and how to make one without the stress.

Most people avoid the topic of wills — it feels complicated, expensive, or just not urgent. But here’s the truth: if you have a family, a bank account, or even a pet… you probably need a will.

Creating a will doesn’t have to be scary or expensive. Here’s why it matters — and how to get started.

1. What a Will Actually Does

A will is a legal document that lets you:

• Choose who inherits your money and belongings
  
• Name a guardian for your children or pets
  
• Avoid confusion and legal fights among your family
  
• Appoint someone to manage your estate when you’re gone
  

Without a will, the state decides — and it might not match your wishes.

2. You Don’t Need to Be Rich to Need One

Even if you don’t own a home or have major assets, a will can help:

• Assign sentimental items
  
• Name someone to handle debts or accounts
  
• Make things easier for your loved ones during a difficult time

3. How to Make a Will (Without a Lawyer)

Some states allow you to make a simple will yourself. You can:

• Write your own (called a “holographic” will)
  
• Use an online template
  
• Have it witnessed or notarized, depending on your state
