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 their assets are distributed according to their wishes. This document allows them to appoint a guardian for their children, ensuring their care is secured in the event of their passing.
  • Situations requiring the establishment of a trust for minor children can be addressed with this Will. It provides a framework for a trustee to manage the assets until the children reach adulthood, thus protecting their financial interests.
  • For those who want to make specific gifts to relatives or friends while ensuring their children are prioritized, this Will is ideal. It allows the testator to outline both general and specific bequests, balancing personal wishes with family responsibilities.
  • Parents who are concerned about the future welfare of their children in case of untimely death will find this Will essential. It not only facilitates the appointment of a guardian but also ensures that their children's financial needs are met through a structured plan.
  • People with estates valued under $2,000,000 can utilize this Will to simplify the estate planning process. It is tailored to meet the needs of divorced individuals, ensuring that their unique family dynamics are respected in their estate distribution.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married or have remarried after a divorce. The legal implications and asset distribution differ significantly for those in a new marriage.
  • If the testator has a complex estate, such as multiple properties or significant business interests, this will may not adequately address their needs. Consulting with an estate planning attorney would be advisable in such cases.
  • Situations involving adult children or no children at all would not be suitable for this form. The provisions for guardianship and minor asset management would not apply.
