Frequently Asked Questions

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have gone through a divorce and have minor children may need this Will to ensure that 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 a clear plan for asset distribution can arise when a divorced parent wants to provide for their minor children. This Will includes provisions for appointing a trustee to manage the children's inheritance until they reach adulthood, which is crucial for financial security.
  • For those who wish to make specific gifts to family members or friends while ensuring their children are prioritized, this Will offers the flexibility to include such provisions. It allows the Testator to express their intentions clearly, reducing potential disputes among heirs.
  • Parents who are not remarried and want to establish a legal framework for their children's future may find this Will essential. It provides peace of mind by outlining guardianship and asset management, which is especially important in blended family situations.
  • In cases where a divorced individual has significant assets under $2,000,000, this Will serves as a practical tool for estate planning. It helps to avoid the complexities of intestacy laws and ensures that the Testator's wishes are honored.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who have remarried, as it is specifically designed for divorced persons who have not entered into a new marriage. Remarriage introduces additional legal considerations that this Will does not address.
  • If the Testator's estate exceeds $2,000,000, this Will may not be suitable. Larger estates often require more complex planning and legal advice to ensure compliance with tax laws and proper asset distribution.
  • Situations where the Testator has no minor children or dependents do not warrant the use of this Will. In such cases, a standard Will may suffice without the additional provisions for guardianship and trusteeship.
  • Individuals facing complex family dynamics, such as blended families or multiple marriages, may find this Will insufficient. These scenarios often require tailored legal documents to address unique family relationships and obligations.
  • This Will should not be used if the Testator has specific business interests or partnerships that require special provisions. Business succession planning often necessitates more detailed legal arrangements beyond a standard Will.
