Oh yes, you definitely need at least a simple will. Do you own a home? Is it in your name? Without a will your estate will have to pass through probate, which involves legal fees and takes a long time.
Definitely have a basic will made. And at the same time, make a healthcare power of attorney (and a living will — describing your end of life treatment wishes). The same lawyer will do all of that.
And this must be an attorney who specializes in estate planning. Find one near you at www.search-Attorneys.com — the website of the estate planning bar.
