By law, your Will must be witnessed by at least two uninterested witnesses and signed by you. Your Will does not control where your property goes until you die. You may revoke or change your Will during your lifetime, so long as you are of sound mind, without obtaining anyone else's consent. You appoint a personal representative (also known as an "executor") in your will. When you die, the person or entity you choose will manage your estate. The executor is responsible for paying any remaining medical costs you incurred due to your last illness and your funeral. They also satisfy any debts owed to creditors and distribute your assets according to the terms of your Will. You include a Testamentary Trust in your Will to meet the needs of an elderly parent or a disabled child. A testamentary trust can be used to ensure that a disabled spouse, parent, or child is taken care of after your death consistent with your wishes. Testamentary Trusts become valid only after you die. Writing or amending a Will yourself may result in a scenario where the Estate is invalid, and your assets are divided among your heirs according to the intestacy rules..LogInformation may be obtained by contacting an attorney who specializes in estate planning to assist you in creating or reviewing a Will.
