Who needs a Last Will & Testament?  Almost everyone.  If you want to decide who inherits your assets; if you want to pick the person who will raise your children; if you want to protect assets until your child is mature enough to manage them; if you want to decide who should manage your probate estate; then yes, you need a Last Will & Testament.  

Many people wrongly believe that a Last Will & Testament is a probate avoidance tool. In fact, your Last Will & Testament only speaks through probate and only addresses assets that are subject to probate.  

A properly drafted Last Will & Testament will include contingent beneficiaries, guardians, trustees and executors. It will give your trustee the ability to provide for the health, education and welfare of your children while the assets are in trust. It must be drafted properly to reflect your intentions and it must be executed according to Ohio statutory requirements.
