SIMPLE LAST WILL & TESTAMENT
A last will and testament states who should receive your probate property, who should administer your estate, and—when applicable—who you nominate as guardian for minor children. A will does not control every asset: jointly owned property, beneficiary-designated accounts, retirement plans, life insurance, and trust property usually pass outside the will.
This form is intended for straightforward estates. State rules for witnesses, signatures, self-proving affidavits, notarization, and handwritten or electronic wills vary. Complex families, substantial assets, businesses, special-needs beneficiaries, tax issues, or expected disputes require individualized legal advice.
