Passing away without a valid will is referred to as "dying intestate." In this case, your estate will be managed and distributed according to your state's intestacy laws. This means that your personal wishes may not be followed, potentially causing your loved ones significant financial, emotional, and legal stress over time.

To legalize your will, it must be written, signed by you, and witnessed by at least two people who are not beneficiaries. Some states also require notarization. It's important to follow your state's specific requirements to ensure the will is valid and legally binding.

No, a living will and a last will are not the same. A living will outlines your preferences for medical treatment and end-of-life care if you become incapacitated. A last will (or known as a last will and testament), specifies how your assets should be distributed after your death and can include other instructions, such as the appointment of guardians for minor children.

Even if you have no significant assets, a will is important for other reasons. It allows you to name a guardian for your minor children, specify your funeral preferences, and ensure that any sentimental items or small assets are distributed according to your wishes. It also helps prevent potential disputes among family members.
