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

Who is the best person to be executor of a will?

People often name their spouse or an adult child as executor of their estate, but sometimes a professional such as an attorney or accountant is named. An executor should not have a criminal record or be under 18 years old, and many courts will not allow someone with poor credit or liens against them to be in the role.

What is the biggest mistake with wills?

If your language is ambiguous or your intentions are not clear it could lead to instructions not being followed properly or the will being ruled invalid. Ensure you seek professional advice when writing a will, and that all of the proper steps are taken, including having the will witnessed.

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

Notary: Delaware does not require a testator to use a notary public to make it valid. However, you may use an optional self-proving affidavit requiring a notarys signature. Self-Proving Affidavit: Delaware allows you to add an affidavit to your will to make it self-proving.

Do you need a lawyer to make a will in Delaware?

Delaware does not require that you use an attorney to create your will. If you know what property you own and who you want to give it to, you are ready to make your will. Many people who prefer doing it themselves use a form service.

What is the minimum age to have a will?

Any person of 16 years and over is free to make a will in order to determine how his/her estate should devolve upon his/her death.
