Frequently Asked Questions

A self-proved affidavit is a legal document that allows a will to be validated without the need for witnesses to testify in court. It simplifies the probate process by confirming the testator's signature and capacity at the time of signing.

Yes, you can change your will at any time as long as you are of sound mind. This can be done by creating a new will or by making a codicil, which is an amendment to the existing will.

If your children are minors, this will allows you to appoint a guardian to care for them and a trustee to manage their inheritance until they reach adulthood.

While this will is valid in Michigan, if you move to another state, you should review the laws of that state regarding wills and estate planning. It may be advisable to update your will to comply with the new state's requirements.

This will is specifically designed for individuals with minor children. If you do not have minor children, you may want to consider a different type of will that suits your circumstances better.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have lost a spouse and are looking to secure their minor children's future can benefit from this will. It ensures that their assets are distributed according to their wishes and that a guardian is appointed for their children.
  • Situations requiring the appointment of a guardian for minor children after a parent's death are addressed effectively with this document. This will allows the testator to designate a trusted individual to care for their children, ensuring their well-being.
  • For those with specific gifts they wish to leave to family members or friends, this will provides a clear framework. It allows the testator to outline particular assets or amounts to be given to others, beyond just the distribution to their children.
  • Parents with minor children who want to ensure their assets are managed responsibly can utilize this will. By appointing a trustee, they can ensure that the children's inheritance is handled prudently until they reach adulthood.
  • In cases where the estate is valued under $2,000,000, this will is particularly suitable. It simplifies the estate planning process for individuals in this financial bracket, ensuring compliance with state laws.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals without minor children. If there are no dependents to consider, a simpler will may suffice.
  • If the estate is valued at more than $2,000,000, this will may not meet the legal requirements for larger estates and could necessitate a more complex estate plan.
  • Individuals who have significant assets in multiple states may require a more comprehensive estate plan than what this will provides.
  • In cases where the testator has complex family dynamics, such as blended families or estranged relationships, this will may not adequately address all potential issues.
  • If the testator wishes to create a trust for their children rather than simply appointing a guardian and trustee, a different legal document would be more suitable.
