This Alaska Will with Trust is for use by a married person (husband or wife) with minor children and includes a self-proved affidavit.

If the children are minors at the time of the Testator’s death and the spouse has pre-deceased the Testator, the Will allows the appointment of a Guardian for any minor child(ren) and a Trustee to administer the minor children’s assets. The Will also creates a Trust for any minor child(ren). The Will also allows the Testator to make specific gifts to others as well. This Will is suitable for estates worth less than $1,000,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mutual will is a legal document created by two individuals, typically spouses, that outlines how their assets will be distributed upon their deaths. It is designed to ensure that both parties agree on the distribution of their estate, often providing for minor children.

This will allows you to appoint a guardian for your minor children in the event of both parents' deaths. It also establishes a trust to manage their assets until they reach adulthood, ensuring their financial security.

Yes, you can amend or revoke your mutual will as long as both parties agree to the changes. It is advisable to consult with an attorney to ensure that any modifications comply with Alaska law.

If both parents die without a will, the state laws of intestacy will determine how the assets are distributed. This could result in a distribution that does not align with your wishes, making a mutual will essential for proper estate planning.

This mutual will is specifically designed to comply with Alaska state law. If you move to another state, you may need to have your will reviewed and possibly updated to meet that state's legal requirements.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are married and have minor children may need this mutual will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes in the event of their death. This document provides a clear plan for asset distribution to the surviving spouse or directly to the children if both parents are deceased.
  • Situations requiring the appointment of a guardian for minor children can benefit from this will. It allows parents to designate a trusted individual to care for their children in case both parents pass away, ensuring the children's well-being is prioritized.
  • For those with estates valued under $1,000,000, this mutual will serves as an effective estate planning tool. It simplifies the process of transferring assets to the spouse or children, avoiding potential complications during probate.
  • Couples looking to make specific gifts to family members or friends can utilize this will. It provides a structured way to include bequests in their estate plan, ensuring that their personal wishes are honored.
  • Parents who want to establish a trust for their minor children will find this mutual will beneficial. It allows for the management of assets on behalf of the children until they reach adulthood, safeguarding their financial future.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who do not have minor children, as it specifically addresses the needs of married couples with dependents. In such cases, a standard will may suffice.
  • If the estate exceeds $1,000,000, this mutual will may not be suitable due to potential tax implications and the complexity of estate distribution. Higher-value estates often require more comprehensive planning.
  • Couples who have significant assets in multiple states may find that this will does not adequately address the legal requirements in those jurisdictions. It is advisable to consult with an estate planning attorney for multi-state assets.
  • This form is not suitable for individuals with complicated family dynamics, such as blended families or estranged relationships, where more tailored estate planning may be necessary to avoid disputes.
  • If one or both spouses are not legally competent to make a will, this form cannot be used. Legal competency is a requirement for creating valid testamentary documents.
