Will

A will is a crucial estate planning tool that allows you to articulate your exact wishes for how your estate should be distributed after you pass away. Without a will in place, Alaska law steps in to determine the distribution of your property at the time of your passing.

However, it’s essential to understand that a will does not govern the disposition of assets controlled by beneficiary designations orby titling, as these assets bypass the probate process.Assets falling into this category include property held in joint names with rights of survivorship, payable-on-death accounts, life insurance policies, retirement plans, and employee death benefits. These assets automatically transfer to designated individuals upon your passing, and your will has no influence over them unless they are payable to your estate according to the beneficiary designations specified.
