Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can change your Will at any time by creating a new Will or adding a codicil, which is an amendment to the existing Will. However, it is important to follow the legal requirements for making changes to ensure they are valid.

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

No, this Will is specifically designed for estates valued at less than $2,000,000. If your estate exceeds this amount, you may need to consider more complex estate planning options.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have gone through a divorce and have minor children may need this Will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes. This document allows them to appoint a guardian for their children, providing peace of mind regarding their care.
  • Situations requiring a clear plan for asset distribution often arise after a divorce. This Will is particularly beneficial for those who want to ensure that their minor children inherit their estate while also designating a trustee to manage those assets until the children reach adulthood.
  • For those who have specific gifts they wish to leave to friends or family members, this Will provides the necessary framework. It allows the Testator to include these gifts while also addressing the needs of their minor children, ensuring that all aspects of their estate are covered.
  • Parents who are concerned about the financial security of their minor children after their passing will find this Will essential. It not only outlines how their assets will be divided but also includes provisions for appointing a guardian and a trustee to oversee the children's inheritance.
  • Individuals looking to create a legally binding document that reflects their unique family situation can benefit from this Will. It is tailored specifically for divorced persons with minor children, making it a suitable choice for those who need to address their specific circumstances.

Do Not Use If:

  • This Will is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married. If you are married, different legal considerations apply, and a joint Will or other estate planning documents may be more suitable.
  • If you do not have minor children, this Will may not meet your needs. Individuals without children or dependents may require a different type of estate planning document that focuses on other beneficiaries.
  • For those with complex financial situations or substantial assets, this Will may not be sufficient. High-net-worth individuals should seek comprehensive estate planning services to address tax implications and asset protection.
  • This Will is not suitable for individuals who wish to disinherit certain family members. If you want to exclude someone from your estate, you may need to include specific language in your Will or consult with a legal professional.
  • If you are considering creating a living trust instead of a Will, this document will not be appropriate. Living trusts serve different purposes and may offer advantages that a traditional Will does not provide.
