Last Will and Testament

Your last will and testament, often simply referred to as your “will” is a legal document which lays out particular stipulations regarding what will happen when you die. Any person over the age of 18 years old may create a last will and testament. This document will indicate the person’s specific wishes regarding his or her property, assets and family. When created properly, a will is a legal and binding document which will be upheld in probate court following the person’s death.

Although you do not need an attorney to create a will, it is highly recommended. Because a last will and testament is a legally binding document, it is important that it is laid out correctly so your wishes are followed to the letter. If the wording is off or if the document is drafted or signed improperly, there is the chance that it may be held as invalid in probate court. If prior drafts of the will are in existence, you will need to be careful to ensure that the latest draft is the one which is followed.
