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.
