Preparing a will is the most effective step you can take to ensure your wishes for your estate are carried out after your death. For over 20 years, the Michael A. Newland Law Office in Hamilton has been helping Ohio residents with all their will and estate planning needs. Attorney Newland and his team are here to share their insights on when, why, and how to make a will:

• When To Make A Will:

  There is no standard age requirement for creating a will. Anyone over 18 years old with any assets should seriously consider making a will. For many people, a significant life event will inspire them to start the process, such as getting married, having kids, buying a house, starting a business, or losing a loved one. If you're unsure if the time is right for you to make a will, contact the Michael A. Newland Law Office for professional guidance.

• Why Make A Will:

  Without a will, the state decides how your estate is divided after your death. This can be a lengthy, costly process for your loved ones to go through. A will states clearly and legally what you want to happen to your property and assets, takes a substantial burden off your family members, and avoids the need for drawn-out probate procedures.

• How To Make A Will:

  A will needs to be professionally drawn up in order to be legally recognized. The Michael A. Newland Law Office has been steering clients through the will making process for over two decades, and they understand the various legal considerations that need to be in place so that your will becomes a legally binding document.
