Quite simply, every adult in our society today should have a will.  Without a will, should something unfortunate befall you, the government will become involved in the distribution of your property and could take up to half of your assets.  Furthermore, wills can provide for the guardianship of children and the well-being of your spouse. Despite the many obvious benefits of having a will, nearly half of American adults today do not have one, resulting in unfortunate and unnecessary consequences every day.

Thoman J. Clarke can help you to prepare a will and answer any questions that you might have. Some people need wills more than others, and it is usually those least likely to have a will that need it the most.  For example, a young couple with a child should always have a will. This may not be for financial reasons, as much as it is to ensure that, should one spouse die, the child and the surviving spouse are taken care of. The state should not become involved in this process unnecessarily. If you think you might need a will, or need your will updated, contact Thomas J. Clarke today, to discuss what you can do to put yourself and your family in the best possible situation.
