A Last Will and Testament, commonly referred to as a "Will," , or "Testamentary Will," is an official legal document which is drafted to provide your final instructions and wishes relating to how your property and assets are to be distributed in the event of your passing.

There are certain formalities required by the state for a will to be valid.  In addition, the specific language used can greatly impact the manner in which the estate will be administered.  For these reasons,  we strongly discourage the use of “do it yourself” wills which may be found on the internet.
