Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have recently gone through a divorce and have minor children may need this Will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes. It allows them to appoint guardians for their children and manage their inheritance responsibly.
  • Situations requiring a clear plan for asset distribution can arise when a divorced parent wants to ensure their children are financially secure. This Will provides a framework for appointing a trustee to manage the children's assets until they reach adulthood.
  • For those who wish to make specific gifts to individuals outside their immediate family, this Will allows for such provisions while still prioritizing the welfare of minor children. This flexibility can be essential for divorced parents wanting to honor other relationships.
  • Parents who are concerned about the financial well-being of their minor children after their passing will find this Will beneficial. It includes mechanisms for appointing guardians and trustees, ensuring that their children's needs are met.
  • Divorced individuals looking to create a legally binding document that reflects their current family situation and intentions can use this Will. It addresses the unique circumstances of divorced parents with minor children.

Do Not Use If:

  • This Will is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married or have remarried since it is specifically designed for divorced persons. Married individuals should seek a different type of Will that reflects their marital status.
  • If you do not have minor children, this Will may not suit your needs. Individuals without children or those with adult children should consider a different estate planning document.
  • Those with estates valued over $2,000,000 should avoid using this Will, as it is tailored for smaller estates. Higher-value estates may require more comprehensive planning and legal advice.
  • Individuals who wish to include complex provisions or multiple beneficiaries may find this Will too simplistic. In such cases, consulting with an estate planning attorney is advisable.
  • If you are facing legal disputes regarding custody or guardianship of your children, this Will may not resolve those issues. Legal counsel should be sought to address such disputes separately.
