This Kentucky 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.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are married and have minor children often require a mutual will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes in the event of their passing. This document provides clarity on asset distribution, ensuring that the surviving spouse and children are adequately provided for.
  • Situations requiring the appointment of a guardian for minor children can arise when one spouse predeceases the other. This will allows parents to designate a trusted individual to care for their children, providing peace of mind during difficult times.
  • For those with estates valued under $1,000,000, this mutual will serves as an effective estate planning tool. It simplifies the process of asset distribution and helps avoid complications during probate, ensuring that the family can focus on grieving rather than legal disputes.
  • Couples looking to make specific gifts to family members or friends can utilize this will to outline their wishes clearly. This ensures that personal items or financial assets are distributed according to the testator's desires, preventing potential family conflicts.
  • Married couples who want to establish a trust for their minor children can benefit from this document. It provides a structured approach to managing the children's inheritance until they reach adulthood, safeguarding their financial future.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals without minor children, as it is specifically designed to address the needs of families with dependents. For single individuals or couples without children, a standard will may suffice.
  • If the estate exceeds $1,000,000, this mutual will may not adequately address the complexities of larger estates. In such cases, more comprehensive estate planning strategies should be considered.
  • Those who have significant assets in multiple states may find that this form does not account for varying state laws regarding wills and trusts. Consulting with an estate planning attorney is recommended in such situations.
  • If there are existing legal disputes among family members regarding inheritance, using this form may not resolve underlying conflicts. Legal counsel should be sought to address these issues before proceeding with a will.
  • For individuals seeking to create a living trust or other advanced estate planning tools, this mutual will may not meet their needs. Alternative documents should be explored to achieve their specific goals.
