A last will and testament is a written document that details who a decedent decided should receive items of property from the estate. Its execution is managed by an executor or personal representative named in the document.
Unless you qualify for another tax filing status, youll usually file as Single in the year after your spouse dies. You might not qualify as a Surviving Spouse if your child is a foster child. In that case, you should use Head of Household status.
What Is the Difference Between a Decedent and a Deceased Person? A deceased person is someone who has died. While the word decedent also refers to a person who has passed away, it denotes a legal status as well. Essentially, all decedents are deceased people, but not all deceased people are decedents.
A last will and testament is a legal document that communicates a persons final wishes pertaining to their assets. It provides specific instructions about what to do with their possessions. It will indicate whether the deceased leaves them to another person, a group, or wishes to donate them to charity.
Though it has been thought a will historically applied only to real property, while testament applied only to personal property (thus giving rise to the popular title of the document as last will and testament), records show the terms have been used interchangeably.
