You ask it, we have it answered!
Do I need a will if I have beneficiaries?
Yes. If your beneficiaries are not your bloodline heirs or descendants, or may claim from your estate based on the Maintenance of Surviving Spouses Act, Intestate Succession Act or Children’s Act, they will not be considered when your estate is distributed, if you have no will. So, if you wish to bequeath something to a friend or someone else, you will need to specify this in your will.
