Can you file a will for someone else?

Even if you are the one creating the Will, the person for whom the Will is created (the Testator) will always need to review and approve the document and execute the Will. Creating a Will for someone else can help make the process faster, but ultimately the Testator must execute the Will to make it valid.

Can an executor also be a beneficiary?

Legally, an executor of a will can also be a beneficiary, but there is a lot more to it.

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.

Does every will have to go to probate?

One of the biggest questions people ask us is: Do I need probate if there is a will? The truth is, having a will doesnt always mean probate can be avoided.
