Do I need a will?

Here’s your solution: assume you will have something left when the estate pays the bills. Maybe a few hundred bucks, many a few grand (for instance, if there’s a car to sell off).

Take a look at what your state’s laws are regarding inheritance taxes in cases where there’s no will. In most places but not all, if there’s a spouse the spouse gets it all; if no spouse but children, it gets divided up equally among the children; if no spouse or children, divided up among siblings; etc.

Whatever it is where you live, if you’re ok with it, then don’t worry about a will. Though it may be that naming an executor will save your estate some money because your executor will probably charge less than a professional agency would for the same work. That’s the only other reason I can think of as to why you would need one.

You’ve answered your own question, given the settling of your estate isn’t worth your taking the time to write out about fifty words.
