Last Will & Testament Attorney

What Is A Last Will & Testament?

A Last Will and Testament ultimately fixes the disposition of real and personal property at death.

Though it has at times been thought that a "will" was historically limited to real property while "testament" applies only to dispositions of personal property (thus giving rise to the popular title of the document as "Last Will and Testament"), the historical records show that the terms have been used interchangeably. The word "will" validly applies to both personal and real property. A will may also create a testamentary trust that is effective only after the death of the testator.

By creating a Last Will and Testament, you are putting yourself in control of what happens to your estate after you pass away. This legal document also allows you to appoint a guardian for your minor children.
