Written By As a journalist, I am happy to report on the importance of having a will, following the Queen’s example. The recent passing of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, has brought attention to the importance of having a will in place.
A will is a legal document that outlines how a person’s assets will be distributed after their death. It is important to have a will to ensure that your wishes are carried out and that your loved ones are taken care of. Without a will, your assets may be distributed according to state law, which may not align with your wishes.
The Queen’s example serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power and wealth need to have a will in place. In fact, according to a recent survey, nearly 60% of American adults do not have a will.
Creating a will may seem daunting, but it is a relatively simple process that can be done with the help of an attorney or online legal service. It is important to review and update your will regularly, especially after major life events such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
In conclusion, following the Queen’s example and creating a will is an important step in ensuring that your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are taken care of after your passing. Don’t wait until it’s too late, take action now to protect your legacy.
