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 providing evidence that the testator signed the will voluntarily.

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 and a trustee to manage their inheritance until they reach adulthood.

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 guardians for their children and manage their inheritance responsibly.
  • Situations requiring a clear plan for asset distribution arise when a divorced parent wants to provide for their minor children after their passing. This Will ensures that the children are taken care of and that a trusted individual is appointed to manage their assets until they reach adulthood.
  • For those who wish to make specific gifts to family members or friends while also providing for their children, this Will serves as a comprehensive solution. It allows the testator to express their intentions clearly, ensuring that all parties are aware of their wishes.
  • Parents who are concerned about the well-being of their minor children in the event of their death can utilize this Will to appoint a guardian. This ensures that their children will be cared for by someone they trust, alleviating concerns about their future.
  • Individuals with estates valued under $2,000,000 can benefit from this Will as it simplifies the estate planning process. It provides a straightforward way to address the needs of minor children while adhering to West Virginia's legal requirements.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married, as it is specifically designed for divorced persons. Married individuals should use a different will template that reflects their marital status.
  • If the testator has a complex estate or significant assets exceeding $2,000,000, this will may not adequately address their needs. In such cases, seeking legal advice for a more comprehensive estate plan is recommended.
  • Situations where the testator does not have minor children do not require this specific will. Instead, they should consider a general will that addresses their unique circumstances and beneficiaries.
  • This will is not suitable for individuals who wish to disinherit their children or have specific conditions attached to their inheritance. Alternative legal documents may be necessary to achieve those goals.
  • For those who have not finalized their divorce or are in the process of a divorce, this will should not be used until the divorce is legally completed and all matters are settled.
