Top 3 mistakes people make in their wills — let’s go.
That forgotten bank account? Your vintage car? If it’s not listed, it goes to your heirs by state law — not your choice.
Mistake #2: Choosing the wrong executor. Your sweet but scattered sister? Bad idea. Pick someone organized — who can handle paperwork and tough decisions. Not just someone you love.
Mistake #3: Forgetting to update. Got married? Divorced? New baby? Bought a house? Major life change = will update. Or your ex could inherit everything.
Bonus mistake? Not having a will at all. Fix it now. It’s easier than you think — and way easier than the mess you’ll leave without one.
Avoid the Mistakes.
Get It Right.
