Re: will

You need a will if you want your wishes enforced by the law. In New York, a document which is not a will but contains directions about property distribution does not have to be followed by the executor or administrator. Without a will, your assets will be divided according to the intestatcy laws.

Re: will

Lots of information is required.

If its land, you need a deed.

Less formal document for other property.

Generally, question is very unclear.
