Types of Wills

If you’re considering adding a will to your estate plan, there are four types of wills you can choose from:

  • Simple Will. In a simple will, you can decide who your beneficiaries will be, determine which assets they’ll inherit, and name a guardian for your minor children.

  • Living Will. A living will is allows you to appoint someone who will make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Unlike a simple will, this type of will focuses on healthcare decisions rather than affairs concerning your estate.

  • Testamentary Trust Will. You can use a testamentary trust will to place certain assets and property into a trust and name a trustee to manage the trust estate. This is useful in cases where the beneficiaries are minors or someone you think shouldn’t handle the assets on their own yet.

  • Joint Will. A joint will is signed by two parties as a separate will for each testator, and is typically used to allow the surviving spouse to inherit the decedent’s estate. The terms and provisions of a joint will can’t be modified, so make sure to consult with an experienced estate planning attorney who can discuss the benefits and consequences of a will with you.
