The 10 most important reasons to have a will
A last will and testament is a legal document that lets you decide what happens with your estate after you die. Yet, according to a recent survey, almost two-thirds of all Americans don’t have a will.
If you’re among them, you should know that there are many reasons to have a will. When you die without a will, you leave important decisions up to a local court and your state’s laws. You won’t have a say in who receives your property and other assets. Plus, not having a will can make it more difficult for your loved ones after you pass.
Here are the top ten reasons you should make a will today:

FreeWill is a public benefit corporation founded at Stanford University in 2017 by Jennifer Xia Spradling and Patrick Schmitt. It has two social missions:
The first is to create access to estate planning for all individuals regardless of their backgrounds or ability to pay.
The second is to make it easy for people to leave money to charity.
As a public benefit corporation, they are legally obligated to pursue their social missions in addition to seeking financial return.
The idea originated from Schmitt's work with the Democratic National Committee in fundraising. After working on his own estate planning, he figured that a website could be created that could simplify the process and that doing so could help raise money for charitable causes.
Town & Country magazine ranked the founding of FreeWill as one of the top 50 Philanthropic efforts of 2019.
