Testamentary
Will Drafting — Basics
Key points to consider when preparing a will, common mistakes to avoid, and when probate may be required.
Why a will matters
A clear will helps distribute assets according to your wishes and can reduce family disputes after death.
It should identify the testator, beneficiaries, assets, and an executor where appropriate.
Common mistakes
Vague descriptions of assets, missing witnesses, outdated wills after major life events, and conflicting documents.
Review and update your will when circumstances change.
Probate and succession
In some cases, probate, letters of administration, or a succession certificate may be required to deal with assets.
Requirements vary by asset type and jurisdiction. This guide is informational only.
