The testator can name one or multiple beneficiaries to receive their assets when they die. The testator also names an executor to put the will into effect through a court proceeding called probate. The instructions in the will tell your executor how to manage your estate and which assets go to each beneficiary.<\/p>\n Assets are all the property and personal belongings you own, including:<\/p>\n The will should also appoint a guardian for minor children to take over if neither parent can care for them. This kind of will also includes a trust for the assets and appoints a trustee to manage them. The trustee and guardian can be the same or different individuals, and we discuss which option is best for each client\u2019s situation. The trustee distributes funds to the guardian to pay for children\u2019s education, healthcare, and other necessary expenses. The remaining funds usually transfer to the children in stages at specified ages.<\/p>\n When someone has remarried and has children from the first marriage, a spousal trust is usually included in the will. The trust provides for the spouse during their lifetime and ensures the remaining assets pass to the person\u2019s own children after the spouse\u2019s death.<\/p>\nCommon Documents in an Estate Plan<\/h2>\n
