A last will and testament is a legal document that entails a person’s wishes as to how their assets will be distributed after their death. The will can be short or long, depending on the process distribution. The assets can pertain to a person’s property, money, and other personal assets. The testator (the person who owns the will) assigns a person (executor) to carry out the person’s wishes in the will. Creating a will and testament is easier if you use a basic template.
