Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married, as it is specifically designed for divorced persons. Married individuals should consider a different type of will that reflects their marital status.
  • If the testator has minor children, this will may not adequately address guardianship and care arrangements. A different legal document may be necessary to ensure the welfare of minor children.
