You ask it, we have it answered!
Do I need a will if I have beneficiaries?
Yes. If your beneficiaries are not your bloodline heirs or descendants or may claim from your estate based on the Maintenance of Surviving Spouses Act, Intestate Succession Act and/or the Children’s Act, they will not be considered when your estate is distributed, if you have no will. Therefore, if you wish to bequeath anything to a friend or someone else you will need to specify this in your will.
