Legal Will Tutorial #A

This version corresponds to situations for a married individual with minor children. Your spouse is sole beneficiary of all property. The children share equally as an alternative, if your spouse does not survive you. He/she is also sole guardian of all the children. Pick one alternate.

Also included is a self-proving affidavit, which is a one-page document independent of the Will for the witnesses to sign and notarize in addition to the Will.

The app is organized into separate pages for each provision along with a sample Will to show how these sections fit together: guardianship, property, funeral, administrator, and more. Additionally, view some helpful advice on how to format the document to prevent manipulation later.
