答案大致如下（律师个人意见，仅供参考，不作法律意见使用）：

• 如果没有遗嘱，您无法选择遗产执行人来按照您意愿分配您的财产，该执行人将由法院指定。法院指定需要额外法庭费用和更多时间。
• 如果没有遗嘱，您无法选择遗产受益人，法院按照本省法律分配您的财产。假设您有同居配偶，那么他/她将无权继承您的财产。
• 如果没有遗嘱，您的未成年子女的应得份额将由法院或指定机构暂时托管至子女年满18周岁成年。孩子18周岁成年后将获得这份财产，无论您的孩子是否有管理这笔财产的能力。
• 如果没有遗嘱，您也无法设立信托基金为您的子女或其他家庭按时按需支付其在成长或生活期间所需的费用，让您的遗产更合理的支付和分配。
• 一份安排合适的遗嘱，能在法律允许的范围内，合理规避部分遗嘱认证费，即遗产税。

遗嘱目的

• 按照您的意愿，直接将您的净资产分给您指定的受益人

分配方式

• 立即分配：
  在遗产执行人申请法院遗嘱认证且遗产税支付后，即在扣除债务后，将剩余净资产分给指定受益人。
• 按阶段分配： 通常适合您有未成年子女或你对受益人管理财产等能力有所顾忌，您指定的遗产执行人将按照顾您的遗愿，阶段性地为您的受益人支付他们的教育和生活费用。例如：等他们年满18周岁，20周岁支付一定的金额，剩余金额等到他们30周岁付完。
