If your children are minors at the time of your death, the will allows you to appoint a guardian to care for them and a trustee to manage their assets until they reach adulthood.
This will is specifically designed for estates valued under $2,000,000. If your estate exceeds this amount, you may need to consider more complex estate planning options.

If you do not appoint a guardian for your minor children, the court will determine who will take care of them, which may not align with your wishes.
Is This Form Right For You?
Use This Form If:
- Individuals who have recently lost a spouse and have minor children may need this will to ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes. This document allows them to appoint a guardian for their children, ensuring that their care is managed by someone they trust.
- Situations requiring the management of a deceased spouse's estate can benefit from this will. It provides a clear framework for asset distribution, which is especially important when minor children are involved, ensuring their financial security.
- For those looking to simplify the probate process, this will includes a self-proved affidavit, which can expedite court proceedings. This feature is particularly useful for widows and widowers who want to minimize complications during an already difficult time.
- Parents of minor children who wish to make specific gifts to family members or friends can use this will to outline their intentions clearly. This ensures that their wishes are legally documented and respected after their passing.
- Widows and widowers with estates valued under $2,000,000 can use this will to create a legally binding document that addresses their unique family situation. It helps in organizing their affairs and provides peace of mind regarding their children's future.
Do Not Use If:
- – This form is not appropriate for individuals without minor children, as it specifically addresses the needs of widows and widowers with dependents. In such cases, a standard will may suffice.
- – If the estate exceeds $2,000,000, this will may not meet the legal requirements for more complex estate planning needs. Individuals in this situation should consult an attorney for tailored advice.
- – Situations involving significant business interests or complex assets may require specialized legal documents beyond this will. Consulting with an estate planning attorney is advisable in these cases.
- – For those who have already established a trust for their assets, this will may not be necessary. Trusts often provide more comprehensive management of assets and can supersede a will.
- – Individuals facing potential disputes among heirs may need a more detailed estate plan to address these issues. This will does not include provisions for conflict resolution or mediation.
