Who you want in charge will be the executor, not the person who is inheriting things. You'll want to name an executor to handle the probate process, and name your son as the beneficiary. Also, once you've filled out the will template, it would usually need to be printed and notarized (Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (ULONA)). You can have it notarized at your local bank. Most provide it free of charge for their customers.

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand that you want to ensure your son inherits everything, which is an important decision. Have you already created a will or trust for this purpose?

No, I just filled out the form.

Lexi, Chatbot

Are there any specific assets or properties you are concerned about including in the inheritance?

No. Everything. House. Land. CD. Savings account.

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your inheritance planning.

I guess that’s everything.

Hi there! My name is Liz and I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade, and I am here to assist with your legal concerns. So I can best help, what form did you fill out?

Will.

Perfect. Have you had it notarized?

It asked who I wanted to be in charge. Just filled it out.
