Will – Married Man with Children
Creating a Last Will & Testament is a key part of financial planning, no matter how young or healthy you may be. If you have children, it's essential to plan for their future, and a Will is of the most important legal documents you can create to ensure that they won't be entangled in a lengthy probate process.
This Will is specifically designed for the situation where the testator (the person making the will) is a married man with children. The Will first instructs the executor (also known as the trustee), in this case the wife of the testator, to distribute specific property to a specified recipient (referred to as a beneficiary) (e.g. daughter will receive family jewelry). The remainder, after the testator’s debts are paid off, will then be distributed to the testator’s wife if she survives him, if not it will be distributed equally among the testator’s children. This Will also provides that if a beneficiary is not yet 30 years old, the executor (trustee) will hold and invest the property/money in trust for the beneficiary and will distribute the funds to the beneficiary in three stages. At age 21, the beneficiary will begin receiving the income made by his trust assets. At age 25, the beneficiary will receive
one-half of the trust assets. At age 30, the beneficiary will receive the remainder of the trust assets.This packet includes:
