A wills lawyer can help you draft a will and any other estate planning documents that will effectively distribute your assets to your designated heirs upon your death. A will is a legal document that typically names an executor or executrix to carry out the provisions of your will. In most circumstances, a will also names the persons and/or entities to whom you wish to distribute your assets. You also can be very specific in a will as to the percentage of assets or certain items of property that you wish to bequeath to various heirs. A will can be very detailed in its bequests, or very generalized, such as a provision that simply leaves your assets to your children in equal portions.
