Each August, National Make-A-Will Month serves as a timely reminder of something many of us tend to postpone—creating or updating our will. At Thomas Manzi Law, we understand that conversations about end-of-life planning are not always easy, but they are essential to protecting your loved ones, preserving your legacy, and ensuring your wishes are honored.
Why Having a Will Matters
A will is more than just a legal document—it’s a powerful tool that provides clarity during a difficult time. Without one, decisions about your estate, guardianship of your children, or the future of family heirlooms may be left up to the courts, creating stress and uncertainty for those you care about most.
With a valid will in place, you have the ability to:
- Appoint a guardian for your minor children
- Choose who inherits your property
- Minimize potential disputes among family members
- Name a trusted executor to manage your estate
- Ensure your final wishes are carried out with dignity
We can assist with:
- Drafting a new will or revising an existing one
- Creating trusts and other estate planning tools
- Designating powers of attorney and healthcare proxies
- Planning for asset protection and tax efficiency
Common Misconceptions About Wills
Many people believe that estate planning is only necessary for the wealthy or elderly. The truth is, every adult—regardless of age, income, or family structure—can benefit from having a will. Life can change quickly. Whether you’ve recently gotten married, bought a home, had a child, or simply want to get your affairs in order, now is the time to take action.
