Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are married and have adult children often need a will to ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes. This form allows them to designate their spouse as the primary beneficiary, providing peace of mind that their loved ones will be taken care of after their passing.
  • Situations requiring a clear plan for asset distribution can arise when a married person with adult children wants to avoid family disputes. By using this will, they can specify how their property should be divided, reducing the potential for conflict among heirs.
  • For those who wish to make specific gifts to friends or charities in addition to their spouse and children, this will provides the necessary provisions. It allows the testator to express their intentions clearly, ensuring that their wishes are honored.
  • Married individuals who have accumulated significant assets may find this will particularly useful for estates valued under $2,000,000. It ensures compliance with Missouri law while facilitating a straightforward distribution process.
  • Couples planning their estate together may use this will to create a comprehensive estate plan that reflects their shared goals. This form can serve as a foundation for discussions about their financial future and legacy.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who have minor children, as different provisions are necessary to protect their interests. A guardian may need to be appointed, which this form does not address.
  • If the testator has a complex estate with significant assets exceeding $2,000,000, they may require a more detailed estate plan that includes trusts or other advanced strategies.
  • Individuals with specific wishes regarding the distribution of assets that do not align with the standard provisions of this will should consider a custom will. This form may not adequately capture unique family dynamics or asset distributions.
  • Those who are unmarried or in a domestic partnership should not use this form, as it is specifically designed for married individuals. Different legal considerations apply in these situations.
  • If the testator has significant debts or liabilities, a different approach may be necessary to address creditor claims and protect the estate's value for heirs.
