Huntington Attorneys Helping You Create A Will

Last updated on May 22, 2025

For many in West Virginia, estate planning starts with a will. This document outlines your wishes for asset distribution after you pass away.

At Bouchillon Crossan & Colburn, L.C., our Huntington attorneys offer guidance and personalized service. We will work closely with you to deliver a will that accomplishes your goals and puts your family first.

What Are Your Goals?

Our lawyers will spend time understanding your estate goals. Since estate planning is not a one-size-fits-all solution, your will should be customized specifically for you and your needs. Our job is to help you draft a will that works in your unique situation.

Important Questions To Consider When Creating A Will

There are certain questions that you should ask yourself when deciding how your will should be written, including:

• Who do you want to inherit your property, from real estate to financial assets?
• Who do you want to select as the executor or administrator of your estate?
• If you have minor children, do you want to choose a guardian to care for them?
• How do you address digital assets?
• How often do you need to make updates to your estate plan?

These are just a few questions to get you started. Considering your responses carefully can help you make informed choices and our experienced team can provide guidance the entire way.

When Should You Create A Will?

Many believe the myth that only older people need a will, but a will is invaluable for people of all ages. Young parents may need a will when starting a family. Their children cannot inherit directly, so assets may need to be held in a trust, and they also want to choose a guardian to care for the child. It is often best to draft a comprehensive will early and then commit to updating it periodically to help ensure it reflects your current circumstances.
