What Happens When Someone Dies Without A Will In Arkansas?

Dying without a will — also known as dying intestate — can be problematic for those left behind. A will details the wishes of an individual to be carried out upon his or her death. Without these instructions — without a will — the state takes over and determines how the estate will be distributed.

The Importance Of Having A Will

Dying intestate will undoubtedly affect your heirs. If you do not have a will, you should consider getting one soon. With help from an estate planning attorney, creating a will can be a straightforward process.

A will can do many things:

  • Name beneficiaries
  • Detail how an individual wants his or her property to be divided
  • Name a guardian(s) for minor children

When an individual dies without a will, the state decides how property will be divided and who should take care of any minor children.
