should be signed by you in front of two witnesses, not related to you. The self-proving affidavit is optional but recommended. It is used to prove the Will and
make the Will subject to probate. If the affidavit is not completed now, someone will have to
locate the witnesses after your death and obtain an affidavit. Therefore, it is best to sign the
Will in the present of two witnesses AND a notary public so that the affidavit can be
completed by the Notary.You should keep your Will in a safe place once executed. It is also recommended that
you give a copy to your executor or other person as additional proof of execution. For additional information, see the Law Summary and Information and Preview links in

BASIC INFORMATION What is a Will? A Will is a document which
provides who is to receive your property at death,
who will administer your estate, the appointment of
trustees and guardians, if applicable, and other
provisions.Who may make a Will? Generally, any person 18
years or older of sound mind may make a Will.
(Some states allow persons under 18 to make a
Will)What happens if I die without a Will? If you die
without a will you are an intestate. In such a case,
state laws govern who receives your property.
These laws are called "intestate succession laws".
If you die without a Will, the Court decides who will
administer your estate. Generally, it is more
expensive to administer an estate of a person who
died without a Will, than a person who dies with a
Will.GeneralWhen making a Will you need to consider who will
be named as your personal representative or
executor to administer your estate, who you will
name as guardian and trustee of minor children if
your spouse does not survive you and who will
receive your property. You should also consider tax
issues. The person appointed as executor or
administrator is often your spouse, but you should
also name an alternate, in case your spouse
predeceases you. The person you name should be
a person you can trust and who will get along with
the beneficiaries named in the Will. In the event your spouse predeceases you, the
guardian you name will have actual custody of your
minor children unless a court appoints someone
else. The trustee you appoint to administer a trust
you established will be in charge of the assets of
the trust for the benefit of the minor beneficiaries.Generally, a Will must be signed in the presence of
at least two witnesses (three for Vermont) who also
sign the Will. A notary public will also need to sign
if the Will contains a self-proving affidavit.
Generally, a self-proving affidavit allows the Will to
be admitted to probate without other evidence of
execution.Joint Property: Many people do not understand
that joint property may pass outside your Will and
also sometimes assume that it will pass through
their Will. They do not understand the significance
of joint ownership. The issue is common in the
following areas, provided as examples:(a)Real Estate: Often, a husband and wife
will own real estate as joint tenants with rights of
survivorship. If one party dies, the surviving party
receives the property regardless of what the Will
provides. This is common and generally
acceptable. However, if this is not your desire you
should change the ownership of the property to
tenants in common or other form of ownership. If
you own real estate as tenants in common, then
you may designate who will receive your share of
the property at your death. This issue can be a
problem when uninformed persons take title to real
estate as joint tenants with rights of survivorship but
really intended to leave their share to, for example,
children of a prior marriage.(b) Bank Accounts/Certificates of Deposit,
Stock, Retirement Plans, IRA’s and other type
Property: The same ownership as real
estate can be made of these investments. In fact,
many Banks routinely place Bank accounts and
Certificates of Deposit in the joint tenant with right
of survivorship form of ownership if more than one
person is on the account or CD, without advising
you of the consequence of same. In situations
where the persons are husband and wife and there
is no issue or concern over divorce or children
from previous marriages, this may be the best
course of action. However, with divorce on the
rise, premarital agreements and multiple marriages
being common, the parties may be doing
something that was not their intent. Another
common problematic situation is where a parent
has more than one child but only one child resides
in the hometown of the parent. The parent may
place the name of the child who resides there on
all accounts, CD’s and other investments for
convenience reasons and establish a joint tenant
with right of survivorship situation without realizing
that only that child will be entitled to those assets
at the parent’s death. Simply put, you should be
aware when you acquire an asset or investment
exactly how it is titled.
