One of life's most emotionally draining experiences is losing a close relative. In addition to the emotional burden, one is also responsible for handling the deceased's estate. This part can be especially overwhelming.

Properly drafted wills address who receives your assets and properties after your death when they are properly filled out.

In addition to asset distribution, your executor makes a public notice of your death, files your final taxes, and records your will in probate court.
