Writing a last will and testament is the last thing most people want to think about. However, not preparing a formal will can leave loved ones unprotected in the event of death. Smartmoney.com (unrelated to this column) features an excellent collection of finance-related guides, including an indispensible guide to writing a will. Instead of offering a step-by-step, fill-in-the-blanks document, the guide gives advice on how to plan and execute the will itself. Tips include how to choose an executor, tying up loose ends by having a 'residual clause' and revoking previous wills.
