As an Ohio resident, you may be wondering what you should include in your will and how often you should update it. Writing a will is an important process that should not be delayed, yet many people tend to overlook it. A will outlines how you would like your assets to be distributed after you pass away, and it can also specify guardianship for minor children.
In this blog, we will discuss the things you should consider when creating your will, what you should include in your will, and how often you should update it. By the end of this blog, you will have a better understanding of what needs to be done to create a comprehensive and up-to-date will.

When writing your will, it is important to consider several factors. First, you should identify all of your assets and decide how you would like them to be distributed. This includes any cash, property, and personal belongings you may own.
You should also consider who you would like to designate as your beneficiaries and heirs. These individuals should be named and accurately identified in your will. Additionally, you will need to decide who you would like to appoint as your executor, the person responsible for overseeing the distribution of your assets, and other important duties.
When creating a will, there are some key things to include. Besides, the assets and the beneficiaries, there should be a clear statement identifying the will as your final wishes, declaration of who will be executing the will, naming guardians for minor children if they are to be mentioned and any residual assets.
You may also include any specific requests or instructions, such as funeral arrangements or donations to charity. Once you have created your will, ensure that you store it in a safe place and provide a copy to your executor.
Life changes are inevitable, and when changes occur in your life, your will might also need to change. This might include the acquisition of new assets, the birth of new children or grandchildren, changes in marital status or a change of mind about where your assets should go.
