[[File:writingyourwill-contents1.png|thumb|275px|right| link=| <span style="font-size:50%;">Image via www.istockphoto.com</span>]]A '''will''' is a legal document that explains what you want done with your property after you die.   
'''It makes your wishes clear'''. It helps ensure the things you own go to the people you want to have them. It gives you some control over what happens to your '''estate''' after you’re gone.  Preparing a will lets you choose an '''executor'''. This is a person who carries out the instructions in the will. If you’re a parent, you can also appoint a guardian to care for any children under age 19 after your death.
