Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Can I make my own Will using an online form?

Beware. If you use an online form instead of a lawyer:

1. You aren’t getting personalized advice from a lawyer who has assessed your needs and interests.
2. Nobody is proofreading the document to ensure it is error free, and captures your intentions accurately.
3. Sadly, many online will forms include mistakes -  some that could adversely affect the interpretation of the Will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is Probate?

When you name a person in your last will to be the Executor of your Estate, that person sometimes needs to also apply to the Court to be appointed formally as the legal representative of your Estate in order to deal with certain property that you own, potentially like a house or a bank account that solely in your name. The process of applying to Court to be appointed as the representative of your Estate is what we call Probate.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Providing for Guardianship of your Children in your Last Will

You can definitely name somebody in your last will to have custody and guardianship of your minor children in the event both of the parents pass away.

Now, the appointment you make in you last will is temporary. That person will eventually need to apply to the court to be appointed as a permanent guardian. But, when they make that application, the court will look very closely on who you named in your last will, and factor that in the decision about who should be the permanent guardian of your children.
