You're husband has a point, but it's also not exactly the entire story. Everyone should have a will. If you don't, you have no say in where any of your things go. People usually expect their assets will be given to the spouse/children, but that is totally not the case. Without a will, you're spouse will be lucky to get half. The rest will probably go to you're parents, and if they are dead, will go to siblings or other relatives. You half to specify where you want you're things to go in a will. Even if you are 20 and living with you're boyfriend and want them to get a piece of what you have, you need to make a will. God forbid something happens to you're husband, you need a will to designate who will take care of you're kids if you are both gone. If you don't, the gov't decides where they go.

So yes, you need a will. I am 22 and have a "will". It's more like my wishes just spelled out for everyone. You're husband needs one, too.

Yes, absolutely you should write a Will now. You have a child and you need to be prepared. Your husband says “no” because you’re young but your age means nothing. You can die at any age. You two could die at the same time in an accident, and you don't want people fighting over who will raise your baby girl. You should chose that person and place it inside your Will so that it will be easier for the courts.

Do it. Who cares if it's practical or not? It will make you feel better, and help you rest more easily.

This is a no brainer. Go do it.

if you dont have a will-your assets will go to probate court and then the government steps in first before family-they can take more than half. yes, get a will.

look at all the hoopla surrounding michael jackson, and he had a will!

Go ahead and see an attorney to give you some peace of mind. They will have the answers you need. I think they can write one up for a minimal fee.
If there is anything to be left to your daughter and not to your husband you can set it up clearly in writing so your assets would be in a protected place for her in the future if anything happened. Like a trust fund under her name only that can be spent for her college expenses underneath a trust officer of a bank.

i dont think the age matters. i think make one, and if circumstances change and you want certain things to go to certain people then update it every few years to reflect your wishes. i think your husband should have one as well- just in case so you and the people you love are protected.

how do you go about writing a will when you are 21 or young, like the poster? is there a generic form online or is it something that must be done in the presence of an attorney? i would feel slightly silly going to my family's attorney and requesting that i write up a will.
