Don't draft your own will. Wills are read after the funeral, so funeral instructions go elsewhere. Life insurance and bank accounts need beneficiary forms, not will language. Use percentages instead of dollar amounts, and keep personal information out since wills become public records.
If you're gonna write your own will, remember these two things. Thing one, don't write your own will, but I know some of you will. So thing two, don't put these things in it. Funeral instructions. Nobody's gonna look at your will till long after the funeral. How about life insurance? Don't put your life insurance in your will. You name a beneficiary for your life insurance and it passes outside the will. Specific dollar amounts. Don't put those in there. You may not have that much money left. So put in a percentage, not a dollar amount. Your personal and secure information. Don't put things like that in your will. Your will is going to get filed in court. The whole world can know what's in it. Put that stuff in a separate document and let your family know where you're keeping it. There's more.
