What Goes into a Will?

Deirdre R. Wheatley-Liss

Chapter Chapter 4 in Plan Your Own Estate, 2013, pp 39-56 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract What elements make up the anatomy of a will? After all, this is the document that will be here when you’re gone, as a statement of your wishes and intent. In this chapter I talk about what a will can and can’t do, what the boilerplate terms are, and why they’re important. The goal of this chapter is to give you a blueprint to read your will and understand what it says.
