Does your religion strongly encourage you to write wills?
There are a lot of cases where family members quarrel over their rights on estates, mostly due to the reason that no wills written by the demise.

in the military you are required to have a will,
but honestly, the world ends when you die so does it really matter?

It strongly encourages you to be prepared for the future, so I guess that would include wills.
Everyone should have a will. Anyone with property should have a living trust.

You never know when you’re going to kack off..

I don’t have a religion and wills are very important, including a living will.

Officially, the Catholic Church has nothing to say on the subject one way or the other. It’s a purely secular matter, one for each individual to decide.
In a larger sense, though, it could be argued that making a will is a "Catholic" thing to do.
That’s because it would be the "Catholic" thing to do whatever one could to prevent family quarrels and tension.
So if a will would help in that regard, then it would be in line with Church teaching, in an indirect sense, to arrange a will before one’s death.

My religion never talks about wills… I don’t think writing a will has anything to do with a church…but like another poster says, it’s just common sense to have one, especially if you have children. In fact I would go as fas as to say, it is very selfish not to write a will, since if you have any property etc. you are expecting family to divide it after your death, and that will obviously cause problems, even family divisions.
