A New Hampshire will and testament is a legal document that is used by a person (referred to as the “testator”) to guarantee that their estate is divided in the appropriate manner upon their passing. A testator has the ability to decide how their personal property, real estate, financial resources, and even cryptocurrency should be distributed among their family members, friends, and charitable organizations to receive their inheritance.
