According to New York Surrogate’s Courts, a valid will can transfer an interest in both personal property (e.g. bank accounts, furniture, stocks, clothing) and real property (such as real estate). A will also allows a person to name an individual to serve as an executor of the estate and guardian over the children. Moreover, a will can provide protection for family members (for example, trusts for adult incompetent children). See
