According to www.wikipedia.org, a will and testament is a legal document that expresses a person’s (testator) wishes to as how their property or estate is to be distributed after their death and as to which person or the executor is to manage the property until its final distribution.
Your will and testament will be effective upon your death. There is also what we call a Power of Attorney which is effective during your lifetime allowing you to appoint a trusted person to manage all your financial affairs if you become incapacitated or you are unable to manage your finances on your own. Having an attorney provides beneficial assistance in the long run as well.
Here are some things you should know when creating last will and testament:
- List your beneficiaries
- Appoint an alternative executor
- All your children must be listed
- Appoint an executor of your last will
- You need to have two witnesses when you sign the document
