The Law Offices of Joseph D. Sullivan Can Help
While laws vary by state, some components are included in all Wills. Wills can also vary greatly in length and detail, ranging from a single page with a handful of beneficiaries to pages and pages of assets, trustees, beneficiaries, and exceptions. No matter what your situation is, we can help. Below is a list of some of the terms you'll see when drafting your Will:
Testator
the person who drafts and signs the will, and also the person whose belongings will be redistributed according to the Will upon their death
Witness(es)
the people who must be present in the same room at the time the Testator signs the Will
Executor
the person who handles probate proceedings and asset redistribution upon the Testator's death, as outlined in the Will
Beneficiaries
the people who receive the distributed assets upon the Testator's death, as outlined in the Will
Trustee
a Trustee is a person who acts as a custodian for the assets held within a Trust. He or she is responsible for managing and administering the finances of a Trust per the instructions given.
Guardian
a Guardian of a minor is a person that has the powers and responsibilities of a parent concerning the child's support, care, education, health, and welfare.
