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 provides clear instructions on appointing guardians for their children and managing their assets until the children reach adulthood.
  • Situations requiring a legally binding document to outline asset distribution for a divorced parent with minor children are common. This Will allows the testator to specify how their estate should be handled, including the appointment of a trustee to manage the children's inheritance.
  • For those who want to ensure their children are cared for in the event of their untimely death, this Will is essential. It not only addresses the distribution of assets but also provides for the appointment of a guardian, ensuring the children's welfare is prioritized.
  • Parents who have specific gifts they wish to leave to friends or family members, in addition to their children, will find this Will beneficial. It allows the testator to include these specific bequests while still focusing on the needs of their minor children.
  • Individuals with estates valued under $2,000,000 can utilize this Will to simplify the estate planning process. This document is tailored to meet the needs of divorced individuals, ensuring that their unique circumstances are adequately addressed.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married. The legal implications of marriage can significantly alter the distribution of assets and the appointment of guardians.
  • If the testator has no minor children, this will is unnecessary. In such cases, a standard will may suffice to address the distribution of assets without the need for guardianship provisions.
  • Individuals with complex estates or significant assets may require more tailored estate planning documents. This will is designed for simpler estates and may not meet the needs of those with intricate financial situations.
  • This form should not be used if the testator wishes to disinherit a spouse or if there are disputes regarding guardianship. Legal counsel may be necessary to navigate these complex issues.
  • For those who have already established a trust or other estate planning vehicles, this will may not be suitable. It's important to ensure that all estate planning documents work cohesively together.
