Common Questions About Wills in Mobile AL
Do I really need a will?
Yes. Without one, Alabama’s intestate laws decide who inherits your property, not you. Having a will lets you stay in control.
How do I make a Will valid in Alabama?
You and two witnesses must sign it. We handle these details carefully to ensure your document meets all state requirements.
Can I change my will later?
Absolutely. Life changes, and so should your plan. We help clients review and update their wills whenever major events occur.
What should I include in my will?
Every will should name an executor, list beneficiaries, and include instructions for personal property and real estate. We help clients in Mobile include clear, legally binding terms that accurately reflect their wishes.
How often should I revisit my will?
It’s smart to review your will every few years or after significant life changes, such as marriage, the birth of a new child, or a move to a new home. This ensures your documents stay current and enforceable.
Can a handwritten Will be valid in Alabama?
Only if it meets strict legal standards, including witness signatures, we make sure your will is formal, secure, and recognized by the Mobile County Probate Court.
What’s the difference between a Will and a Living Will?
A will outlines who will inherit your assets after your death. A living will covers healthcare choices while you’re alive but unable to communicate. We prepare both to ensure complete protection.
Where should I store my original will?
Keep it in a safe, fireproof place and tell your executor how to access it. We can also help you file it securely with the local probate office if preferred.
