Last Will and Testament
A Will, or Last Will and Testament, is the document which tells your family,
and the probate court, who is to administer your estate and to whom your
estate assets are to be transferred upon your death.
The Last Will and Testament becomes effective upon your death and may be amended
and any time prior to your death, so long as you are competent.
In your Will, you may also set up a trust, called a testamentary trust, for the
benefit of your minor children, and may appoint specific persons to raise your
minor children upon your untimely death (testamentary guardianship). Because you
will not be around to explain your intentions or the language of your Last Will
and Testament, it is imperative that the document be drafted with clarity,
without contradiction, and that it be witnessed with all the formality and
safeguards required by the law.
