Estate planning is a crucial aspect of everyone's life. Even though people spend a lot of time planning for vacations, weddings, and birthdays, they often forget to plan for the inevitable end of their lives. Estate planning is not only about deciding who will inherit your belongings but it also covers healthcare decisions and financial affairs. In this blog post, we will discuss what happens if you die without a will, steps involved in drafting a will, and how Singler Law can assist Ohio residents with their estate planning needs.

In Ohio, if you die without a will, your assets will be distributed according to state laws. This means that your assets will not go to the people you would like them to. Instead, the state will decide who gets your assets based on a predetermined formula. Usually, your surviving spouse and children will get the assets. However, if you are unmarried and have no children, your assets will go to your parents, siblings, or other relatives. If you do not have any relatives, your assets will be taken by the state.
Creating a will is relatively simple. Here are the steps involved in drafting a will:
a) Identify your assets: Make a list of all your assets, including property, bank accounts, investments, and life insurance policies.
b) Choose an executor: An executor is someone who will execute your will after you pass away. You can choose a trusted family member or friend or a professional.
c) Determine who will inherit your assets: Decide who will receive your assets after you pass away.
d) Sign your will: Your will must be signed by you and two witnesses who are not beneficiaries of your will.
