Last Will and Testament Drafting Prompt
Drafting a Last Will and Testament as a starting point for estate planning. The AI draft must be reviewed and executed under attorney supervision with proper witnesses and notarization.
✓ Best Practices

- ✓Address digital assets explicitly — social media, crypto, email accounts
- ✓Include a residuary clause to capture any unaddressed assets
- ✓Name at least one alternate for every executor and guardian
- ✓NEVER execute without attorney supervision — improper execution invalidates a will
⚠ Limitations
- ⚠Wills must be executed with proper formalities — AI drafts are not valid until properly signed
- ⚠Complex estates (taxable, business succession) require specialized estate planning counsel
- ⚠State-specific requirements for witnesses, notarization, and self-proving affidavits vary
