A Will does not become effective until the Will Maker passes away.&nbsp; The Will has no legal significance until death occurs. That is contrary for Living Wills and Powers of Attorney. These latter <a href=\"\/when-should-i-start-estate-planning\/\">estate planning<\/a> documents take effect immediately upon executing the documents.&nbsp; They help the person who signed them right away. The Will outlines who the executor should be and how the Will Maker&#8217;s affairs should be handled upon his or her death.&nbsp; The Living Will provides the Agent with the authority to make a decision as to withdraw or withhold artificial nutrition and hydration if the Principal is in a permanently unconscious state.&nbsp; The powers of attorney help the principal to have the Agent have authority to make financial and health care decisions while the Principal is not able to do so for himself or helf, but death is not impending.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Will and Living Will sound similar, a Will and a living will serve distinctly different purposes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c356941 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c356941\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Do I need a will in Mount Vernon, OH?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6050a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e6050a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn nearly all cases, everyone should have a basic estate plan, which includes a Last Will &#038; Testament.  If you do not execute a Will before your death, your estate will pass by the State of Ohio&#8217;s Laws of Intestacy.  In the case of an intestate estate, the probate judge will use the Ohio Probate Code to determine your beneficiaries to inherit your net assets.  Beneficiaries are generally close relatives. The Laws of Intestacy direct a line of succession as to who inherits an intestate estate. So, while the state of Ohio does not obligate a person to execute a Will, failing to do so may confuse and cause conflict amongst remaining family members.
