Frequently Asked Questions
A Will is a legal document that outlines how a person's assets will be distributed after their death. It can also name guardians for minor children and specify funeral arrangements.
Having a Will is crucial for parents as it ensures that their children are cared for by a designated guardian and that their assets are managed according to their wishes.
A Trust can manage assets for minor children until they reach a certain age, ensuring that the funds are used for their benefit. This arrangement can be included in the Will.
Yes, you can modify your Will at any time as long as you are of sound mind. It's advisable to update it after major life events such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.

Is This Form Right For You?
Use This Form If:
- Individuals who are married and have minor children often need to create a Will to ensure their children's future is secured in the event of an untimely death. This document provides clear instructions on how their assets should be distributed and who will care for their children.
- Situations requiring a comprehensive estate plan may arise when a spouse passes away, leaving behind minor children. In such cases, this Will with Trust can designate a guardian for the children and outline the management of their inheritance.

Do Not Use If:
- – This form is not appropriate for individuals without minor children, as it specifically addresses the needs of married persons with dependents. In such cases, a simpler Will may suffice.
- – If the estate exceeds $2,000,000, this form may not meet the legal requirements for larger estates, which could necessitate more complex estate planning strategies.
