A will is the most practical first step in estate planning; it makes clear how you want your property to be distributed after you die. Here are the rules. Know any others?

1.	In most states, you must be 18 years of age or older.
2.	A will must be written in sound judgment and mental capacity to be valid.
3.	The document must clearly state that it is your will.
4.	An executor of your will, who ensures your estate is distributed according to your wishes, must be named.
5.	It is not necessary to notarize or record your will but these can safeguard against any claims that your will is invalid. To be valid, you must sign a will in the presence of at least two witnesses.
6.	It's also the best place to name guardians for your children.
