A Last Will and Testament, commonly referred to as a "Will," or "Testamentary Will," is an official legal document which is drafted to provide a person's final instructions and wishes relating to how property and assets are to be distributed in the event of his or her passing.

There are certain formalities required by the state for a Last Will and Testament to be valid.  In addition, the specific language used may greatly impact the manner that an estate will be administered.  For these reasons, we strongly discourage the use of “do it yourself” Wills which commonly found on the internet.

Depending on the size of a person's estate and the types of assets owned at the time of that person's death, a Last Will and Testament should address the disposition of issues such as:

  • A person's wishes concerning guardianship of minor children or mentally / physically incapacitated dependents after the one's death

  • The distribution of assets such as a home, land, liquid assets, and other property

  • Motor vehicles, recreational vehicles and other possessions

  • Proceeds of certain life insurance policies

  • Furniture, boats, and other property of value

  • Investment portfolios, and shares of stock

  • Retirement accounts

  • Jewelry, artwork, and so on

While a Last Will and Testament may be drafted to be as detailed as the person drafting it chooses, the more specific and detailed a person makes his or her Last Will and Testament may make a significant difference in providing the estate the best opportunity of going through the probate process smoothly, with limited potential for disputes, and in a timely manner.

Experienced legal counsel can help guide a person through the process of drafting or amending a Last Will and Testament, clearly defining a person's choices regarding his or her estate, as well as represent the interests of family members and the estate if probate litigation if the estate is challenged.

A Last Will and Testament can be essential to any family, regardless of the size of the estate.
