The Four Basic Types of Wills

Considering creating a will? Would you like to specify which beneficiaries get which assets? Not sure what type you need? An attorney can guide you in finding the right type that will meet your needs. The four types of wills include:

  • Simple Wills: This will includes the individual's name, address, marital status and instructions about their assets and beneficiaries. A witness must be present when creating this will. As long as the process is not complicated; this will work.
  • Testamentary Trust Wills: This will includes provisions that place a portion of the estate into a trust. The beneficiaries will receive the assets through the trustee that has control over them.
  • Joint Wills: This will is commonly used for spouses who plan to leave their estate and assets to their significant other. The estate will be left to them, and when they pass it will be distributed to their beneficiaries. This type of will can't be revoked after the first spouse passes.
  • Living Wills: This will provides detailed instructions about medical treatment while the person is alive but unable to communicate their wishes. The directions included on the will have to be followed.
