carlie Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm posting this in Claims/Research/Benefits as it will probably get viewed more here. Does anyone have a blank copy of an acceptable Last Will and Testament for any state ? If so, is it possible to scan and post it here. I can get blank forms, from VA for a Living Will and Designation of Medical Surrogate but I'm looking for a blank Last Will and Testament. I feel it is important for all people to have this filled out and of record. Thanks, carlie Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

Berta Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 This site might have what you need Carlie. http://www.freelinks.com/forms/will.php It pays to check out the laws for the state you live in as some wills can be challenged due to state laws. For example some states require all children to be named in a will -but as long as they are left $1.00 they then cannot challenge a will that leaves most of the money to other beneficiaries. Other states let one leave their money as they wish to anyone and can omit next of kin people. Wills have to be filed with the County clerk or surrogate's office (forget where) when death occurs-but that is usually the first time the will (which goes to probate court) is actually revealed to any beneficiaries.At that time anyone can usually have public access to read the will.(In most states) I used to work for lawyers and saw some odd stuff regarding wills.A vet who is going to do some work on my decks is having a heck of a time with his dad's will.He is the executor of estate It was quite specific but his brothers are fighting over it all.They started fighting the night of the funeral.Fortunately he has a lawyer whop is setting them straight. Death brings out the worse and the best in relatives.It always pays to have a will and to let the beneficiaries know where it is. (dont put it into a safe deposit box.the bank can freeze it with the assets) I paid very little to have my lawyer handle my will and health care proxy. A lawyer handling it can often be the best bet. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergie http://www.legalzoom.com/ yeah, I got a last will from one of those legal website for about $10.. it might have been on sale.. but still, shop around, there are several legal website, like legal zoom, legal zoom is a bit more expensive than some other websites with the same forms.. Not in appeals, since I got 100%, and some of it was winning an 1151 negligence, which the VA turns out does not give ful benefits if you win 1151 negligence they squirm and legal loophhole you and your family out of many benefits, really crapp nasty bunch running the va benefits, they wil backstab and scre wyou even if you win you lose.

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted April 15, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm going to agree w/Berta in that death brings out the worst and best in all families. I also agree that you should hire an attorney, to handle the will. Actually, I suggest, if you own anything of value, outright, such as real property, you consider a revokable living trust, as it allows your beneficiary(s) immediate control, upon your death. Trying to avoid attorneys fees can cost in a long run. While purchasing online or general will forms online, unless they've been reviewed and approved by an attorney they could be invalid, causing your beneficairy(s) long delays in providing the benefits you desired. jmo pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
