Even if your next of kin are your preferred beneficiaries, having a Will is important. It allows you to nominate an executor, nominate a guardian for minor children, and give the executor necessary powers to sell real estate and serve without bond, thus reducing fees and expenses. A Durable Power of Attorney allows you to designate a trusted individual to handle legal or financial affairs for you during life.
