Will is a legal document in which a person stated the method in which he wants for this possessions and properties to be managed and divided between his close relationship or those to whom he want to give right after his death.
According to a common law instrument to transfer the personal property to others is known as testaments and the disposing of real property is known as will. But this difference was in the past, there is no such difference, all these things are being called will or sometimes called last will or testament.
The person will have died intestate in case he does not leave a will or it proves to be invalid after his death, and then the distribution of his assets and state or personal property will be done according to the laws of Descent and distribution of the state in which he was living. Laws have stated many elements to be valid and it have been made important to check their validation because of the significance of the will. Other than these elements a will get considered invalid case the person has made in the result of pressure, fraud or mistake.
There are many important reasons for a person to make a will. In case he wants to select his heir a person who will be responsible for everything instead of him after his death. He will decide the people who will be benefited from his estates because there can be some even blood relations but testator may not like him or do not know him. It gives a chance to the person to decide which one of his relations will be perfect to act on his behalf after he dies. He will also have to choose the person for the responsibility of checking if the beneficiaries are getting their right fairly or not, court can also hire someone in case the testator haven’t choose any one for this, but it is better to choose a known person than a total stranger. If a person dies early and have small kids to rise, he can choose a guardian for his kids to rise, if not court will decide the future of kids according to the law of state, they may be sent to foster homes or care center and will be forced to live away from each other, this proves very bad sometimes for the future of kids, so choosing someone who will be acquainted to them is much better.
The validation of a will need three essential elements present in it to be accepted, First and the most important thing is to make sure the testator was capable to stating a will at time of the will was written, other thing is the document which is claiming to be a will should meet the carrying out necessities of Statutes which is also known as statute of wills, this is being designed to confirm that the document is not a fake one. Last is that the person wanted for will to be legalized. If these elements will not be satisfied, it will be considered invalid.
