Why Modern Families Require More Than A Simple Will

At first glance, a simple will seems like an easy way to check off "done" when it comes to making decisions for loved ones in case of an untimely death. You have names on the list; you've included property and money; you've collected all the signatures needed. However, the modern family does not look like the template wills are designed around. In fact, families today have hybrid household structures (single parents with multiple children), co-ownership of homes, and/or both partners working outside the home through a side hustle or as their own business owner. Families also have digital assets, and their financial lives are likely far from being neatly labelled by law. Therefore, why would you think a simple template document that fits everyone's needs could adequately protect those who depend on you?
