Why Every Adult Needs a Will
Without a Will, Pennsylvania intestacy laws determine who gets your assets and who cares for your children. Don't leave these critical decisions to the state.
Protect Your Family
Name guardians for your minor children. Without a Will, a court will decide who raises your kids—possibly someone you wouldn't choose.
Control Your Assets
Decide exactly who gets what. Leave specific items to loved ones. Choose percentages for residuary distribution. Your wishes, not state law.
Avoid Family Conflict
Clear instructions prevent disputes. Name an executor you trust. Reduce stress and legal costs for your loved ones during a difficult time.
What You Can Do With Your Will
Make Specific Bequests
Leave particular items or amounts to specific people:
- Family heirlooms and jewelry
- Real estate property
- Vehicles and collectibles
- Cash amounts to individuals or charities
Name Guardians
For parents with minor children (under 18):
- Primary guardian nomination
- Backup guardian selection
- Guidance on values and upbringing

Choose Your Executor
Select someone to manage your estate:
- Pay debts and final expenses
- Distribute assets to beneficiaries
- File tax returns
- Handle probate proceedings
Distribute Remainder
After specific bequests, direct how everything else is divided:
- All to spouse
- Equally among children
- Spouse then children

Common Questions
What happens if I die without a Will?
Pennsylvania intestacy laws determine asset distribution. Your spouse and children receive shares based on a formula, not your wishes. The court appoints guardians for minor children without your input. Creating a Will puts you in control.
Do I need witnesses?
Yes. Pennsylvania requires at least 2 witnesses (18+) who are not beneficiaries of your Will. Both witnesses must watch you sign and then sign in your presence and each other's presence. We provide complete instructions.
Can I update my Will later?
Yes. You can create a new Will at any time (the newest one supersedes previous versions). Update your Will after major life events: marriage, divorce, births, deaths, or significant asset changes.
Where should I store my Will?
Keep the original in a safe, accessible place (fireproof safe, safe deposit box, or attorney's office). Tell your executor where to find it. Give copies to trusted family members. Never store it in a place that requires a court order to access.
