Bill > HJR23

This joint resolution designates August of 2026 and every year thereafter as "Make-A-Will Month" in Virginia, recognizing that a will is a crucial legal document outlining how a person's assets and property should be distributed after their death. The resolution emphasizes that all Virginians, regardless of their financial situation, should create a will to ensure their wishes are known, their children are cared for, and to plan for digital assets and charitable donations, thereby reducing stress on grieving families who might otherwise have to rely on government laws to settle these matters. By establishing this annual observance, state and local agencies are encouraged to provide free resources and information to help individuals create or update their wills.
