I had a will drawn up about two years ago. Chiefly to legally assign the custody of my daughter to my mom and stepdad should anything ever happen to me. Those who know about the situation with my ex (and his family) will understand why that was so important. It has brought me tremendous peace of mind. Otherwise, it specifies the way my life insurance will be divvied up between my kids (I don't really have anything else that is valuable) and it contains a living will - which is also good to know I have. It's really not that expensive or time-consuming to do it. I think I met with the lawyer just two times. Importantly though, get a reference for a good lawyer. Don't skimp on something like your will.
