The most common way to pass your assets to your beneficiaries is to use a will. One reason why wills are a common estate planning tool is that they are easy to create. You can even create a will online.
Sometimes a will is all you need to get the job done. However, sometimes a will may leave your beneficiaries less than you think. To ensure that your assets go where you want them to go, you will probably need some additional estate planning tools.
