A Last Will and Testament is a disposition by an individual of his or her property, intended to take effect after death. The person making a will, called the testator or testatrix (if female), must be of full age and sound mind and must act without undue influence by others.

A written will must be signed at the end; a testator unable to write may make an "X", and such a mark is considered a valid signature. In the State of Florida, three persons must witness the will, that is, they must sign the will as witnesses to the signature of the testator. In Florida, the signing must be done in the presence of witnesses, and a Notary Public. The Testator must state that the document being signed is his or her will. The witnesses need not be acquainted with one another.

This is a simple will, not a trust. If you feel you are in need of a living trust, please contact an attorney.
