Last Will and Testament 

A Last Will and Testament is a legally recognized document signed by you before witnesses that lists out your wishes regarding your property, whether real or personal, after you pass away. You can nominate an executor (also called a personal representative) to wrap up your affairs. If you have minor children, you can nominate a guardian. There are ways to avoid probating a Last Will once you die (like payable on death bank accounts or real estate deeds granting rights of survivorship) but, if required, a county court will need to be petitioned for your wishes to be fulfilled and enforced.
