I just had mine done. I’d advise you go to an attorney. There are laws that are different in every state and an attorney will get it right the first time.

Also you need, a durable power of attorney [who does what to see that your *will* is carried out] and finally your advance directives [do you want to be kept alive using extraordinary means/end of life care]. Good luck, you’ll be glad you’ve buttoned that up.

A durable power of attorney ends on the death of the individual.It is used if a person can no longer handle their own affairs during their lifetime.

The executor or personal representative is the fiduciary responsible for carrying out the terms of the will helped by the attorney (if one is engaged). The successor trustee is responsible for carrying out the terms of a trust.
