Create a New York Last Will and Testament with our customizable template!
In the State of New York, a Last Will and Testament is a document written by a Testator (the person creating the Will) that clearly states what they wish to do with their belongings and assets once they pass away. Generally, Testator’s use these documents to pass or transfer their assets to their children, spouse, or close family friends, but can also use the Will to donate assets to charity as well as to share specific wishes, such as special instructions to honor during the last meal. In New York, this document must be signed by two witnesses within 30 days of one another, and they must each write their complete address beneath their signatures. The purpose of having two witnesses sign the Will is to help ensure that the Testator meets the legal requirements for creating the document. After the Will is created and executed, it should be kept somewhere safe that also makes the document easy to access, such as with the Testator’s attorney or with a trusted family member.
