"This is financial adviser Patrick Munro, discussing the benefits of wills in relation to probate. It's important that an individual in life, when they become an adult, and start to accumulate assets, as in mutual funds, and stocks, and a house that they own themselves to have a will. If they pass away in the absence of a will, that's called, dying intestate. And if you do so, the state that you live in will step in, and decide where your assets, and how they will be distributed. This is not a good situation. The government normally does not do a good job, and normally will leave out family members as well. To avoid this unfortunate set of circumstances, make sure you execute a will with an attorney, an elder planning attorney is often times the best one to use. Make sure that you have declared beneficiaries, loved ones who will receive your assets, this way you can avoid probate. This is Patrick Munro, discussing, wills in relation to probate."
