Start a Will QuestionnaireGeneral information about wills
A last will and testament is a written document in which a person (the testator) states who is to receive their property at death and names a person (the executor) to carry out those instructions. A will can also name a person to serve as guardian of minor children.
In California, a will is generally administered through the probate court. A will takes effect only at death and can be changed or revoked during the person's lifetime.
The information on this page is general and educational. It is not legal advice and is not a recommendation about which document is right for you. If you have questions about your legal rights or options, please consult a licensed California attorney.
