A “will” might seem like something far off in the future, but in reality, it’s an important matter that affects every family. When someone passes away without leaving a will, disputes over inheritance almost always follow.

In this article, Alpha Lawyers will guide you through 3 common misunderstandings about wills that many people have — and how they can become the root cause of endless family conflicts.

1. A will must be made in court. A will does not need to be made in court — you can write it yourself.
However, it must follow legal requirements, such as:

• Clearly stating the name of the testator (the person making the will)

• Being signed by the testator and witnessed by at least two people

• Clearly specifying the assets and the beneficiaries

If the will does not meet these legal requirements, the court may rule that it is invalid.

2. If you have children, you don’t need a will. Not writing a will is basically inviting conflict.
Even if you have multiple children, their opinions may differ — for example:

• Who should get the house

• Who should inherit the land

• Who should manage the main assets

If there’s no will to clearly state your wishes, the court will decide how to distribute the inheritance, which can lead to unnecessary family disputes.

3. One will lasts for a lifetime. A will should be updated regularly to reflect changes in your assets and circumstances. For example:

• Purchasing new property or assets

• Gaining or losing family members

• Changes in your intentions or financial situation

Updating or rewriting your will ensures that it remains current and helps prevent future misinterpretations

Real Story: 

A family with three children lost their father, who passed away without leaving a will.

The eldest wanted to keep the house. | The middle child wanted to sell it and split the money. | The youngest wanted to keep it as a family memory.

Without a clear will, disagreements escalated into a legal battle, and in the end… the family relationships were irreparably damaged.
A will is not a distant concern — it’s a way to “plan your legacy with intention.”
By writing a will, you ensure that your assets are handled according to your wishes, reduce potential conflicts, and protect the relationships of the people you love.
