Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the biggest mistake with wills?

Top five mistakes when writing a Will Failing to have the Will witnessed correctly. All Wills need to be signed in the presence of two independent witnesses, who in turn must sign the document. Creating a DIY Will. Forgetting key assets. Not updating the Will after your circumstances change. Not writing one at all.

Can I write my own will and have it docHubd in WV?

Married couples who agree on how they want their estates distributed after they die might assume a joint will is a good idea. However, for a number of reasons, creating separate is a better idea.

Should a husband and wife each have their own will?

Can Spouses Have a Joint Will Together? Some couples think that they can have one joint will together, but this is not a sound approach. Spouses need separate wills. Even if the majority of the information in your wills is nearly identical, you still need to each have your own.

What is the best type of will for a married couple?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Notarization is NOT required for a valid will in West Virginia. A Self-Proof Affidavit, which is signed by the attesting witnesses, assists with probate and is usually used. The affidavit is docHubd, which means that the notary as another person must be present and handling pages.

What is the best way for married couples to handle finances?

Keep it simple. One shared bank account. Pay all the bills from that. Agree on short term and long term financial goals. Agree on your budget before the month. Use a tracking app like monarch. You can include discretionary spending for each person in equal amounts, regardless of how much each of you make.

What are the pitfalls of mirror wills?

The main issue with mirror Wills is that the surviving partner can alter or revoke their Will at any time. This can happen while both partners are alive or after one has passed away, potentially resulting in a new Will with completely different terms, excluding the initially intended beneficiaries.

Does a married couple need two separate wills?

Yes. You can create your own will in West Virginia. Many people with simple estates choose to make their own will and other estate planning documents, like a power of attorney and living will.
