It is also a good practice to periodically review and update the will to ensure its accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wills can be a very elaborate and complicated documents for very wealthy and big families and should be prepared in consultation with legal professionals.  However, for majority of people it is a simple document and one can prepare the same him\/herself.  Technically a will does not require any notary public or any lawyer and\/or even a legal paper.  As long as the will has all mandatory contents and necessary information and is duly signed, be it on a simple sheet of paper, handwritten or printed, it is fully legal document acceptable to even a court of law.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Necessary contents of a will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Name and address of the owner of the will (information that helps in uniquely identifying the individual)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>His\/her terminal wishes and\/or preferences (if any)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instructions on distribution of his\/her assets\/estate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Name and contact information of executioner(s) of the will<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Names and contact information of two witnesses with their signatures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signature of the owner of the will<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9b1ced2fc2bf223228f6131c1ef81814\"><strong>Advice:  Write you will TODAY no matter how simple and informal it is.  Remember, if the time permits it can always be consulted with a legal professional and improved, but not having a will at all may have some serious consequences and may create deep long lasting family disputes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start with, the following generic template of the will can be used.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter has-white-background-color has-background\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-f36f96f2-15a6-41bf-b899-b1a2cd5c855f\" href=\"https:\/\/bigfamilyportal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Template-of-Simple-Will-Dec-24-2024.docx\">Template of Simple Will &#8211; Dec 24, 2024<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bigfamilyportal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Template-of-Simple-Will-Dec-24-2024.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-f36f96f2-15a6-41bf-b899-b1a2cd5c855f\">Download &#8211; Template of a Simple Will<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9525953029050d1340301d655d0d58bd\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the rules defined in the holy Quran, following is a quick and easy tool to calculate what would be the approximate share of each family member in the deceased&#8217;s inheritance.
