Baha'is are required to leave a Will and Testament outlining the inheritance for their children:
"Unto everyone hath been enjoined the writing of a will." - Baha'u'llah
A further requirement:
"If the deceased should leave children who are under age, their share of the inheritance must be entrusted to a reliable individual, or to a company, that it may be invested on their behalf in trade and business until they come of age. The trustee should be assigned a due share of the profit that hath accrued to it from being thus employed." - Baha'u'llah
My wife and I set up a Trust along with our Will to provide for our descendants. Without a Will the survivors may well have to resort to a Court and legal fees could be exorbitant. Baha'i Faith stresses unity and strong families.
There is a provision that if you do not leave a Will certain distributions will be made but as yet these are not enforced.
