A will or testament is a legal declaration by which a person, the testator, names one or more persons to manage his or her estate and provides for the distribution of his or her property at death.

Though it has at times been thought that a “will” was historically limited to real property while “testament” applies only to dispositions of personal property (thus giving rise to the popular title of the document as “Last Will and Testament”), the historical records show that the terms have been used interchangeably.

 Thus, the word “will” validly apply to both personal and real property. A will may also create a testamentary trust that is effective only after the death of the testator.

Over the course of a lifetime, however, many events create circumstances that require you to change your Will. You remarried. You had a falling out with a family member. You started a business. Your partner died. You got a divorce. You had another child.

Whatever the event is, you should change your Will to reflect the new circumstances. At the Law Offices of John R. Coniglio, our estate planning attorney in California believes in updating Wills on a regular basis so that they reflect the current situation in your life.
