Your last will and testament may be the single most important legal document you make in your lifetime, and luckily, many firms now provide high-quality software to make writing it less difficult.
Make sure your loved ones are well-provided for by leaving them a detailed will, by simply using software designed to suit your needs.
Here is an overview of what to look for when selecting the last will and testament software for you.
Basic last will and testament requirements A last will and testament is basically a legal document, signed in the presence of two witnesses, which distributes the assets of the person writing the will (called the testator) among selected surviving beneficiaries.
Also, this document can be used to designate legal guardians and surrogate parents, in case the testator has children who are still of legal minority, as well as instructions for the medical care of the testator in case of advanced health affliction.
Finally, the last will and testament should demonstrate in some way that the testator is making the document of his own will and is in full control of his mental faculties.
All these requirements should be entered into the software of your choice in order for the will to be considered legal and binding.
Technical support As the pace of the progress of computers and software continues to speed up on almost a daily basis, it is important to keep abreast of these changes, particularly if you are looking to buy software that makes important documents like your last will and testament.
The software you select should be user-friendly, easy to understand, offer updates that can be downloaded from the Internet, and should have a toll-free hotline that you can call with any questions that you may have.
