We offer several types of Blank Will Forms. These are PRINTABLE will forms. A standard will is referred to as a “last will and testament.” The will specifies how the person’s assets will be distributed and who will be in charge of the distribution. The standard will is suited for individuals and couples with total assets (including life insurance and retirement plans) of less than the exclusion threshold for the federal estate tax, which is currently $11,580,000 for a single person and $23,160,000 for a married couple.
We offer much more than just standard blanks wills. For most of us, life is anything but standard. We offer wills for the most common everyday situations. The most popular will we offer is for persons who are remarried and have children from one or both marriage(s).
Will form templates can be edited or customized to suit just about any situation. If you’re widowed, edit the template and mention your spouse by name as having preceded you. If you’ve been married three times, be sure to mention the ex’s by name along with your current spouse. If you have 12 kids, add lines to the template to ensure that you list each child by name.

In most cases the answer is no. At the present time the only state that requires a will to be notarized is Louisiana
A will can’t really be changed but it can be modified by executing a Codicil To Will. The codicil allows you to delete sections from your previous will and also allows you to add new sections or conditions.
Of course you can make a will without a lawyer. The only true legal requirement is that the will be witnessed and/or notarized according to the laws of the state where it is being signed.
All heck will break loose the second you die. Nothing brings out the nasties faster than a child finding out he or she was passed over in favor of other siblings. You should mention every child by name in the will, even if you have no intention of leaving that person any of your estate. One common phrase used in wills is “I leave you all of my love but no material possessions.”
Most states consider a will to be “self-proved” if it was signed by the grantor, signed by two witnesses, and notarized. The witnesses must sign the will under penalty of perjury that they watched the person sign the will.
Some states do not allow for self-proved wills. In the District of Columbia, Vermont, Maryland, and Ohio, the option to consider a will self-proved is not available. In California, Indiana, and New Hampshire, it’s not necessary to have a separate affidavit for witnesses to sign. The will itself usually includes a statement that under penalty of perjury, the witnesses state that to the best of their knowledge, the grantor was of legal age, not under undue influence, and mentally competent to sign the will.
