What Is a Last Will and Testament in Alabama?

An Alabama Last Will and Testament is a legally binding document created in order to enforce the Testator's wishes on how their estate should be distributed upon their death. The document addresses the distribution of personal property, real estate, and assets to individuals - like family or friends - and organizations - like charities or businesses.

The completed form must be thoroughly reviewed to make sure that all wishes are accurately reflected. The finished document must be signed and dated by the Testator in front of witnesses and certified by a notary. Testators must research the laws in their states or contact an attorney to revoke or change the existing will.

A final will and testament may be distributed among the beneficiaries by a chosen representative or executor at the wishes of the Testator.

How to Write a Will and Testament in Alabama?

The Testator can choose what to include in a will. There are several main steps that the testator must take to create their will in Alabama:

  1. Describe marital status and list all children. For the purposes of a will, the Testator must note whether they are married as well as whether they have any children - both those born to the Testator and those that have been legally adopted. All children and dependents must be included even if they are not given a portion of the Testator's assets.
  2. Elect Beneficiaries. The most important part of the Last Will is the appointment of beneficiaries. Beneficiaries are the individuals or organizations that are to inherit the Testator's estate and property.
  3. Appoint a representative or an executor. An Executor must be appointed by the Testator in their will. The Executor will be in charge of carrying out the Testator's wishes concerning their property and will make sure that the beneficiaries get the correct portion of their inheritance as described in the will.
