McNair's death reminds us that everyone needs a Will.
Steve McNair’s tragic death provides a valuable lesson to everyone regarding the need for a Will. The 36 year old former Ravens Quarterback died in Nashville on July 4, 2009 without a Last Will and Testament. Although McNair’s estate will be determined by Tennessee intestate laws, had McNair been a resident of the State of Maryland, Mechelle McNair would not have fared well. Under Maryland law, Mechelle McNair would only be entitled to one-half of McNair’s net estate while his four children would receive equal shares of the remaining one-half. At this time, it appears that McNair has two children with Mechelle McNair and two children from a previous relationship. Thus, Mechelle potentially would have lost control over one-quarter of McNair’s net estate. Of course, this all could have been avoided with a minimum and simple Last Will and Testament that gave Steve McNair’s entire net estate to Mechelle McNair.
