Wills:
Simple Wills
A Simple Will sets forth the wishes of the person writing the Will, the testator, and distributes assets immediately after his or her death. A common gift in a Simple Will reads "to Joe, if Joe survives me, otherwise to Mary." The gift is not held until Joe reaches a certain age, or attains a certain goal, such as after graduating from college. There are no restrictions on the gift to Joe, other than that he is living at the date of death of the Testator.
A Simple Will can be likened to a photograph taken at death. The picture captures what the testator owned and who is living at the date of his or her death.
Writing a Will does not ensure that Probate will not occur.
