What is a Will?
A Will is a legal document that sets out how your assets and property will be distributed after your death, and who will manage that process.
It lets you name an executor, appoint guardians for minor children, and specify exactly who receives what, rather than leaving these decisions to the default rules that apply if you don't have one.
