Frequently Asked Questions

A self-proved affidavit is a legal document that allows a will to be validated without the need for witnesses to testify in court. It simplifies the probate process by confirming the authenticity of the will at the time of its creation.

Yes, you can change your will at any time as long as you are of sound mind. This is typically done through a codicil, which is an amendment to the original will, or by creating a new will altogether.

If your children are minors, the will allows you to appoint a Guardian to care for them and a Trustee to manage their assets until they reach adulthood. This ensures that their needs are taken care of according to your wishes.

This will is designed for estates valued under $2,000,000. If your estate exceeds this amount, you may need to consider more complex estate planning strategies.

To ensure your will is valid in Arkansas, it must be signed by you and witnessed by at least two individuals. Additionally, using a self-proved affidavit can further validate the will and streamline the probate process.

Do Not Use If:
