Last Will and Testament

A “Last Will and Testament” is a crucial legal document that outlines how you want your assets and property distributed after your death. This document typically includes:

1. Identification of the testator (person making the will)

2. Naming of an executor to manage the estate

3. Beneficiaries and their inheritances

4. Guardianship arrangements for minor children

5. Specific bequests or gifts

6. Instructions for paying debts and taxes

7. Signature of the testator and witnesses

Creating a will ensures your final wishes are respected, reduces potential family conflicts, and simplifies the probate process. It’s advisable to review and update your will regularly, especially after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of children.
