What we'll cover
What is a will
A will is a document, which proves that the testator (maker of a will) intends to transfer his property upon death to certain other persons named in the will. A will is ambulatory; it speaks from the time of the testator’s death.
Wills And Instructions
Advocates For Better Planning offers seven simple will forms. Each form has been carefully designed to enable you to fill it out with ease and accuracy. The forms we have chosen satisfy, in our judgment, the basic needs of the average family or single individual.
First, select the form that suits your personal circumstance:
- Form #1 — Wife (No Minor Children)
- Form #2 — Husband (No Minor Children)
- Form #3 — Wife with Minor Children
- Form #4 — Husband with Minor Children
- Form #5 — Unmarried Individual with One Beneficiary
- Form #6 — Unmarried Individual with Two or More Beneficiaries
- Form #7 — Unmarried Individual with Minor Children
Just follow the simple procedure outlined in the discussion of your will for filling out the form. Fill out only one form and save the unused forms for possible future use. Take your time — read all the instructions and examine the entire will form before filling it in.
Note: AFBP cannot anticipate every individual situation. If, after reading this guide, you decide that your circumstances require special consideration that cannot be covered by our simple wills, please contact your attorney. If you don’t have one, reach out to your local bar association for assistance.
Husband/Wife
As we said before, each spouse must execute a separate will. Form #1 is for the wife and
Form #2 is for the husband. The primary purpose of these wills is to ensure that the entire estate
of the spouse who dies first will pass to the surviving spouse.
The will anticipates that you may have adult children. However, if you are childless, the forms are still valid
if you state the name or names of your chosen beneficiaries in the appropriate place as explained below.
Remember, children or other named beneficiaries will share your estate only if your spouse does not survive you.
Directions
- Write your name and address in the spaces provided at the top of the form.
- State the name of your spouse in the blank in Paragraph First.
- Enter in Paragraph Third the name or names of the persons who you wish to receive your estate. If you have children, they will share your estate equally only if your spouse predeceases you but before the beneficiaries that you name. If you are childless, the person or persons you name will receive your estate only if your spouse predeceases you.
- The first sentence of Paragraph Fourth names your spouse as Executor/Executrix. In the second sentence of Paragraph Fourth, enter the name of the person you wish to serve as Executor/Executrix if your spouse does not survive you or fails to serve in this capacity.
- Sign the instrument before a public notary, in the presence of three adult disinterested witnesses.
Husband/Wife With Minor Children
Each spouse should fill out a separate will form. Form #3 is for the wife and
Form #4 is for the husband. The surviving spouse will take the entire estate of the deceased spouse.
If your spouse dies before you, upon your death your children will share your estate equally.
Form #3 and Form #4 contain a guardian provision in the event your spouse dies before you
or you both die in a common disaster.
Directions
- Fill in your name and address in the blanks provided at the top of the form.
- In Paragraph First, write the name of your spouse in the blank, followed by the name of your children in the large space provided.
- Paragraph Fourth appoints your surviving spouse as Guardian of your child or children. Insert the name(s) of the person(s) whom you wish to serve as sole Guardian or co-Guardians in the event your spouse dies before you, dies with you in an accident, or is unable to carry out this duty.
- Paragraph Fifth appoints your surviving spouse as Executor/Executrix of your est
Unmarried Individual With One Beneficiary
This form is designed to protect the estate of an unmarried person who wishes to leave his or her estate to one designated beneficiary.
It may also be used in cases where the testator has an adult child to whom he wishes to leave his estate.
Directions
- Fill in your name and address in the spaces provided at the top of the form.
- In Paragraph First, fill in the name of the person who will receive your estate.
- In Paragraph Second, fill in the name of your chosen beneficiary in the first blank. In the second blank, name the person who will inherit if your first choice dies before you.
- Enter the name of the person you wish to serve as Executor/Executrix of your estate in the first sentence of Paragraph Fourth. Enter the name of the alternate person to serve as Executor/Executrix if your first choice dies or is unable to carry out duties.
- Execute the instrument in the presence of a public notary and three adult disinterested witnesses.
Unmarried Individual With Two or More Beneficiaries
This will form protects the estate of an unmarried person who wishes to leave his or her estate to certain designated beneficiaries.
This form is also usable where you have adult children to whom you wish to leave your property or share it with other beneficiaries.
Those beneficiaries who are alive at the time of your death will divide your estate in equal shares.
Directions
- Fill in your name and address in the spaces provided at the top of the form.
- In Paragraph First, insert the number of persons to receive your estate. Then list their names.
- Enter the name of the person you wish to serve as Executor/Executrix of your estate in the first sentence of Paragraph Third. Enter the name of the alternate person to serve as Executor/Executrix if your first choice dies or is unable to carry out duties.
- Execute the instrument in the presence of a public notary and three adult disinterested witnesses.
Unmarried Individual With Minor Children
This will provides for the minor children of single people who may be divorced, widowed, unwed, or have adopted a child. Under the law, the natural parent of a child has first entitlement to act as guardian of a minor. However, in cases where the surviving parent is disabled or lacks mental capacity, a guardian should be appointed. This form is also applicable in all cases where the natural parent dies before you.
Furthermore, this will leaves the entire estate of a single parent to his or her children, whether they are minors or adults.
Directions
- Fill in your name and address in the spaces provided at the top of the form.
- Insert the number of your children and their names in Paragraph First.
- Fill in the name of the person to act as your Executor/Executrix in the first sentence of Paragraph Fourth. In the second sentence, name an alternate if your first choice predeceases you or is unable to act as Executor.
- Name the guardian of your choice in the first sentence of Paragraph Fifth. In the second sentence, name an alternate if your first choice predeceases you or is unable to act as guardian.
- Sign the instrument before a public notary in the presence of three disinterested adult witnesses.
Last Will and Testament FAQs
Creating your Will online is simple with Advocates for Better Planning (AFBP).
Just choose the Will form that best fits your situation — whether you’re married, single, or a parent — then fill out the guided online form. Once you complete the payment, you’ll receive a downloadable and printable version of your Will.
Each form has been carefully designed so you can fill it out with ease and accuracy, without needing prior legal knowledge.
Every adult should have a valid Will. A Will ensures that your property and personal wishes are carried out exactly as you intend.
Without a Will, state law determines how your assets are divided — which may not reflect your wishes.
Having a Will also helps:
- Protect your spouse and children’s inheritance
- Appoint a guardian for minor children
- Avoid unnecessary disputes or confusion after death
AFBP’s simple Will forms are designed to meet the needs of the average family or single individual at a fraction of the cost of attorney-prepared documents.
Not necessarily. The Will forms provided by AFBP were designed to be clear and legally sound for the average individual or family.
However, if you have a complex estate — such as multiple properties, blended families, or large assets — it’s a good idea to consult a qualified attorney.
Jesse also recommends contacting your local bar association if you have unique legal circumstances that go beyond the simple Will forms.
Each Will form costs $69, which includes:
- Access to the guided online questionnaire
- A downloadable and printable PDF of your Will
- The ability to update or redo the form later, if needed
This makes it one of the most affordable and efficient ways to prepare a Will that reflects your wishes.
After completing the form and payment, your information is automatically formatted into a ready-to-sign document.
You’ll then need to:
- Print the completed Will.
- Sign it in front of three adult disinterested witnesses and a public notary.
- Store it safely with your important documents or share copies with trusted family members or your executor.
Yes. AFBP strongly recommends that every Will be signed before
three adult disinterested witnesses and a notary public.
This ensures your Will is valid and enforceable in all states and prevents disputes about authenticity or capacity.
AFBP offers seven Will forms, each tailored for specific life situations:
- Wife — no minor children
- Husband — no minor children
- Wife — with minor children
- Husband — with minor children
- Unmarried individual — one beneficiary
- Unmarried individual — two or more beneficiaries
- Unmarried individual — with minor children
You only need to fill out one form. Each includes space to name executors, beneficiaries, and (if applicable) guardians.

Yes. You can return to update your information or purchase a new Will form whenever your circumstances change —
such as marriage, divorce, new children, or property acquisition.
It’s good practice to review your Will every 1–2 years or after any major life event.
AFBP’s forms are meant to handle most common situations.
However, if you have unusual financial, medical, or family arrangements, Jesse advises consulting a licensed attorney for a customized legal solution.
The goal of these forms is to make sure everyone can have an affordable, legally sound Will —
but complex cases may still need direct legal counsel.
