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 authenticity of the will and the testator's signature.

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

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

No, this will is specifically designed for estates valued at less than $2 million. If your estate exceeds this amount, you may need to consider more complex estate planning strategies.

If you do not appoint a guardian for your minor children in your will, the court will decide who will take care of them, which may not align with your wishes. It is crucial to specify a guardian to ensure your children's care is managed by someone you trust.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are divorced and have minor children may need this will to ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes after their death. This document allows them to appoint a guardian for their children, ensuring that their care is managed by someone they trust.
  • Situations requiring a clear legal framework for asset distribution arise when a divorced parent wants to provide for their minor children. This will includes provisions for a trustee to manage the children's inheritance until they reach adulthood, safeguarding their financial future.
  • For those who have specific gifts they wish to leave to friends or relatives, this will allows for such distributions while still prioritizing the needs of minor children. It ensures that the testator's intentions are honored, providing peace of mind in estate planning.
  • Parents who have not remarried may find this will essential for outlining their wishes regarding their children's guardianship and financial management. This document helps avoid potential disputes among family members by clearly stating the testator's preferences.
  • Anyone looking to create a legally binding document that reflects their unique family situation, particularly after a divorce, will benefit from this will. It addresses the complexities of parenting and asset management in a straightforward manner.

Do Not Use If:

  • This will is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married, as it is specifically designed for divorced persons. Married individuals should consider a different estate planning document that reflects their marital status.
  • If there are no minor children involved, this will may not be suitable. Individuals without minor children may require a simpler will that does not include guardianship or trustee provisions.
  • In cases where the estate exceeds $2 million, this will may not meet the legal requirements for larger estates. Those with significant assets should consult a legal professional for more tailored estate planning solutions.
  • For individuals who have complex family dynamics, such as blended families or estranged relationships, this will might not adequately address all potential issues. A more comprehensive estate plan may be necessary in such situations.
  • If there are specific legal disputes or ongoing litigation regarding custody or assets, this will may not be the best choice. Legal advice should be sought to navigate these complexities.
