Will Form Overview!

You can use a Last Will & Testament to provide for the transfer of your assets to named beneficiaries after you die. You can also use it to appoint guardians to care for your minor children, make funeral arrangements and provide for the management of property left to young beneficiaries.

If you fail to make a will, a judge will determine how your property is to be divided amongst your heirs following your death based on the ‘rules of intestacy’ which are decades old. Usually only your immediate family will receive your property under these rules of intestacy.

This Last Will & Testament form is for someone who is female, is married or in a registered civil partnership and has minor children. It allows you to make as many specific gifts (gifts of cash and specific objects) as you want and then gifts your residuary estate to your husband/partner. Your estate includes everything you own. The residuary estate is that part of your estate that is remaining after all specific gifts have been made and all debts and taxes owing at the time of your death discharged. It is often the largest part of a person’s estate.

If your husband/partner fails to survive you for a period of 30 days, your residuary will pass to your children in equal shares. Your children’s inheritance will be managed by a trustee on their behalf until they reach an age specified by you. 

This Last Will & Testament is a downloadable form. It comes complete with guidance instructions on how to fill in the form.

If you are not completely familiar with Wills, we recommend that you purchase our legal kit entitled “Last Will & Testament Kit”. This book not only contains all the forms you will need to make your own will but also gives you a detailed explanation of will and how they work.
