The most important measure of a will is that it works. By “works” I mean that at the end of the day (or the end of life, in this case), when the will is executed, distributing the assets goes smoothly to the intended people, and that it doesn’t get challenged by a potential inheritor. If you haven’t written a will, or haven’t reviewed yours recently, these points will help to make sure that your will really works to both distribute your property and make it easier for your heirs.
