What does Estate Planning mean?
The word "estate" refers to a person's belongings - his or her business, money, land, homes, cars - all of their possessions. Estate planning is just making arrangements for loved ones after you die and determining how your estate will be distributed.
What is a Will? Do I need a Will?
A Will or "Last Will and Testament" is a legal document that described a person's wishes about what should happen to their property after he or she dies. It can also appoint a guardian for your children or pets.
You need a Will if you care about what happens to your belongings after you die. It does not matter how little or how much you have.
What are the different types of Wills or Testaments?
An Olographic Will must be written, dated, and signed in the handwriting of the person making the will, also known as the testator. The date may appear anywhere in the will, the testator must sign the testament at the end of the testament.
A Notarial Will must be in writing and signed before a notary and two competent witnesses. The person making the will, also known as the testator, has to declare that the will is his or her last testament and then sign his or her name at the end of the testament and on every page of the will. Louisiana law also requires a particular phrase to be included at the end of the will indicating the witnesses and notary watched the testator sign his or her name to the will. This is the type of will Gaudin Law Group will create for you.
