		A will is a legal document that can include details such as who (known as the beneficiaries) will inherit what property and money from you, who will take care of your underage children, and what to do with your remains after your death.
		Making a will is very important, for if you don't create one and you pass away, it will be up to the state of California to decide what will happen to your property and who will care for your children.
		Under California law, unless you leave a will, your spouse or domestic partner will be entitled to all of your community property.
