This Virginia 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.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are married and have minor children may require 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 their assets.
  • Situations requiring the appointment of a guardian for minor children often arise when both parents pass away. This mutual will allows parents to specify who they trust to care for their children, ensuring that their wishes are honored during a difficult time.
  • For those with an estate valued under $1,000,000, this mutual will is a cost-effective solution for estate planning. It simplifies the distribution process and provides clear instructions on how assets should be handled, reducing potential disputes among heirs.
  • Couples looking to make specific gifts to family members or friends can utilize this mutual will to outline their intentions clearly. This ensures that their personal belongings and assets are distributed as they desire, even if they are not directly passed on to their children.
  • Married individuals seeking to create a trust for their minor children will find this mutual will particularly beneficial. It not only addresses asset distribution but also establishes a trust that can provide financial support for the children 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 married couples with dependents. Those without children may require a different type of will that focuses solely on asset distribution.
  • If the estate exceeds $1,000,000, this mutual will may not be suitable due to its limitations on asset distribution. Individuals with larger estates should consider more complex estate planning strategies to address tax implications and asset protection.
  • Couples who have significant assets in multiple states may find that this Virginia-specific mutual will does not meet their needs. It is advisable to consult with an attorney to create a will that complies with the laws of all relevant jurisdictions.
  • Individuals facing complex family dynamics, such as blended families or estranged relationships, may need a more tailored estate planning solution. This mutual will may not adequately address the unique considerations of such situations.
