Wills

A will is a legal document that declares your wishes about how the probate court should distribute your valuables. A will is also the estate planning device that creates a guardian for any minor children should something tragic happen in your family.

Without a will, the laws of California will determine how your valuables will be distributed.  This may or may not be as you intended, which is why I believe that everyone over the age of 18 should at minimum have a will.
