This North Dakota Will with Trust is for use by a married person (husband or wife) with minor children and includes a self-proved affidavit.

If the children are minors at the time of the Testator’s death and the spouse has pre-deceased the Testator, the Will allows the appointment of a Guardian for any minor child(ren) and a Trustee to administer the minor children’s assets. The Will also creates a Trust for any minor child(ren). The Will also allows the Testator to make specific gifts to others as well. This Will is suitable for estates worth less than $1,000,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mutual will is a legal document created by two individuals, typically spouses, that outlines how their assets will be distributed upon their deaths. It ensures that both parties agree to the terms and conditions set forth in the will.

This will includes provisions for appointing a guardian for your minor children and establishing a trust to manage their inheritance. This ensures that their financial needs are met and that they are cared for by a trusted individual.

Yes, you can amend or revoke the mutual will as long as both parties agree to the changes. It's important to follow the legal requirements for making amendments to ensure they are valid.

If both spouses pass away, the assets will be distributed according to the terms outlined in the mutual will. The appointed guardian will take care of the minor children, and the trustee will manage their assets.

This mutual will is specifically designed to comply with North Dakota laws. If you move to another state, you may need to create a new will that adheres to that state's legal requirements.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are married and have minor children may need this mutual will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes in the event of their death. This document provides peace of mind by designating a guardian for their children and a trustee to manage any assets left to them.
  • Situations requiring a clear plan for asset distribution often arise when a spouse passes away. This will allows the surviving spouse to inherit the assets while also ensuring that provisions are in place for any minor children, safeguarding their financial future.
  • For those looking to create a legally binding document that addresses both their spouse and children, this mutual will is essential. It includes specific gifts to others, which can be crucial for individuals wanting to leave personal belongings or financial support to friends or relatives.
  • Couples who want to avoid potential disputes among family members after their passing should consider this mutual will. By clearly outlining the distribution of assets and appointing guardians, it minimizes the likelihood of conflicts and ensures that the children's needs are prioritized.
  • Parents with minor children who are concerned about their children's welfare in the event of both parents' deaths will find this document invaluable. It not only designates guardians but also sets up a trust to manage the children's inheritance until they reach adulthood.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals without minor children, as it specifically addresses the needs of families with dependents. If there are no children involved, a simpler will may suffice.
  • If a couple has significant assets exceeding $1,000,000, this mutual will may not be suitable. In such cases, more complex estate planning strategies may be required to address tax implications and asset protection.
  • Situations involving blended families or complex family dynamics may require a more tailored approach than this mutual will provides. Couples in such scenarios should consult with an estate planning attorney to address unique family needs.
  • This form should not be used if one spouse has significant debts or financial issues that could affect the estate. In such cases, a comprehensive financial assessment and planning may be necessary to protect the surviving spouse and children.
  • If either spouse is not legally competent to make a will, this form is not appropriate. Legal capacity is a critical requirement for creating a valid will, and individuals should seek legal advice if there are concerns about competency.
