Will preparation is the process of creating a legally valid will. This document outlines how an individual's assets should be distributed upon their death, and can include instructions for the care of minor children or other dependents. Will preparation typically involve consulting with an attorney to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the wishes of the testator (the person making the will) are accurately reflected in the document? The process also includes gathering information about assets, debts, beneficiaries, and other important details; drafting language that clearly expresses those wishes; signing and having witnesses sign the document; and filing it with relevant government agencies.
