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 woman with children. The Will first instructs the executor (also known as the trustee), in this case the husband 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 husband if he survives her, if not it will be distributed equally among the testator’s children.
