The most basic way to explain a will is it’s a document that designates where you want your property to go after you have passed away. The will will appoint a personal representative, which is the person charged with distributing your property to heirs, also paying your debts after you have passed away. It’s important that a will is executed with the proper formalities, because in the State of Florida, if a will is not executed properly, it will be found to be invalid by the court.
