A last will and testament, also known simply as a will, is a legal document that provides instructions for what should happen to a person's assets after his or her death. If a person dies without a will, they are said to be “intestate,” and state intestacy laws govern the distribution of the property of the decedent.
Will VS last will and testament?
A Last Will and Testament only takes care of your stuff (your assets). A Living Will only takes care of your self (your health care). Having either one of these documents is good — it's better than nothing! But having both (or otherwise addressing both sides of estate planning) is better.
