What Is a Last Will & Testament?
A will allows a person to specify how their assets and property will be distributed after they pass. A will can also be used to name guardians for minor children and may outline funeral and burial arrangements, and it can include provisions for charitable donations. In New York, a will must be in writing and signed by the person making the will, known as the testator. The will must also be witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries.
