A person writes a will while he or she is alive, and its instructions are carried out once the individual dies. A will names a still-living person as the estate executor, and that person is responsible for administering the estate. The probate court supervises the executor to ensure that he or she fulfills the wishes specified in the will.

Dying without a will is known as dying intestate. If you do not have a will when you die, the state will decide how your assets are divided. If you have children or have no legal partner, the distribution of the estate has the potential to become confusing. In extreme cases, everything you own could become the state's property simply because there was no legally binding will at the time of death.

A will and a Last Will refer to a document determining what happens to your property if you die. It sets out who your belongings should go to, how, and who is in charge of making that happen. A Living Will, which is also sometimes known as a Healthcare Directive, lets your loved ones know about any healthcare decisions that you'd like to be made while you're alive if you're unable to express these wishes when the time comes.

If you don't have a Last Will in place when you die, the government will figure out how to deal with your property. The state will also figure out who should claim guardianship of your children.
