<br />
A person writes a will and testament before they die, and usually writes what they want to happen to their [[estate]] ([[money]] and their things) after they die. A will may also provide for other issues including,<br />
* Stating preferences for funeral arrangements,<br />
* Designating a guardian for a minor child,<br />
* Preventing will contests, and<br />
* Making gifts to [[charitable organization|charities]].<ref name="elwill"/><br />
<br />
When a person passes away, the person's will may be [[probate]]d, meaning that a probate court will authorize a representative to carry out the deceased person's wishes.<ref name="NYprobate">{{cite web|title=How the probate system works|url=https://www.newyorklife.com/articles/overview-probate-process/|website=New York Life|publisher=New York Life Insurance Co.|accessdate=7 June 2017}}</ref> Depending upon where probate occurs, the representative may be called a ''personal representative'', ''executor'' or ''administrator''.<ref name="NYprobate" /><br />
