LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
Single with no Children
Description:
This Last Will and Testament is designed for single persons (never married,
divorced, widow, widower, etc.) who do not have children, but want to
leave their Estate to another beneficiary.
Instructions:
There are two steps in making your Last Will and Testament:
Step One: Prepare the Last Will and Testament
Fill in the blanks in the Last Will and Testament form by either printing or typing
in your information on to each blank line. For example, the Last Will and
Testament starts, “I, ____________________,”. If you are making your own
Last Will and Testament, print or type your name in the blank space. Then
complete the Will by filling in all the other blanks on this form. It is recommended
you complete this in your own hand, on a typewriter or a computer. Never allow a
spouse, or beneficiary to fill in your Last Will and Testament, as this could be
declared invalid.
Review your Last Will and Testament to see that it says what you want it to say
and is kept updated. If you have any questions of any nature whatsoever, talk
with a lawyer licensed in your state.
Step Two: Signing the Last Will and Testament
You must sign your Last Will and Testament in full in front of two independent
witnesses who should have no interest, or share in the Estate. This includes family
members, beneficiaries, Executors, Trustees or appointed Guardians. Each witness
must also sign in front of you and the other witness.
*If you nominate more than one beneficiary, add the additional names and bequests.
NOTE: This form is for completing a very simple Last Will and Testament. If your
Estate and/or wishes will be complicated, you are advised to seek the services of
a professional advisor who can assist you to draw up a valid Will.
