If you were to pass on in the near future, who would be responsible for taking care of your possessions? Most people don’t think about a will until it's too late, but it’s important to have one prepared so that family members and beneficiaries receive your possessions and monetary assets without any legal trouble. The personal injury and estate planning attorneys at Curt Davis Law Office PLLC in Somerset, KY, have helped many clients with preparing a will, and they're here to share some of the most important elements to include when you're ready to write or update your own:

• List Of Assets: If you own multiple properties, have received compensation from a personal injury or auto injury case at some point in your life, or have a large retirement fund, you need to list all of these items as assets in your will. An experienced estate planning attorney will help you make a comprehensive list so that everything is distributed to the appropriate party.
• Executioner: This is the person who is legally responsible for making sure the instructions listed in your will are executed as you wanted them to be. You need to choose someone you can trust completely once you have passed.
• Inheritance Rights: This may be one of the first things people think about when preparing a will and can also be among the most challenging parts of the whole process. You need to decide who will get your assets once you pass and must be specific about each and every item that has monetary or sentimental value. You will need to create a list of beneficiaries and assign assets to each of them.
