A will or a trust?

[Midtowner]

I don't have a will what happens if I have no descendants? For a basic will is something like legal zoom acceptable?

I would advise against legalzoom. Everyone's situation is unique. If your situation is common and nothing special is needed, better to get that news from someone actually licensed to practice law rather than a website.

Just realized I did not finish my thought the other day.

If someone is truly the end of the family line, or simply feels no reason to leave anything to distant relatives barely known or perhaps unknown, I hope such person would make arrangements in his/her lifetime to dispose of any assets. There are any number of fine charitable organizations who can do more with one's generosity than letting an estate go to the state by default.
