Re: which Will Form to use ?

There is no particular will form to be used. Every will should be tailored for each individual. If your estate has a value of more than $2 million, than I highly recommend estate planning to avoid costly estate taxes. If you are not married to your female friend, than she would receive nothing unless you stipulate otherwise in a will.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

You have too much at stake to rely on "bits and pieces" of advice in this type of forum. You should consult with a local attorney. If you would like to give me a call for a no cost consultation, please free to do so.

Re: which Will Form to use ?

You do not want to use a form, unless you want to guarantee problems. The small cost of having a lawyer do the will right is one you should spend. If you're near our office, feel free to call me at 404-768-3509 for an appointment.
