Information about “FREEWILL”

The California Legislature approved, effective Jan. 1, 1983 the use of
a "Fill-in-the-blanks" approach for executing a valid will in
California.  They apparently felt this was better than having people die
without a will or with an invalid holographic will.  Two standard will
forms have been approved.  This diskette contains both forms (printable)
and a copy of the California civil code that covers the forms.  The
documentation should provide some background for deciding whether you
should have a will, whether either of the two California statutory will
forms can serve your needs, or whether you should obtain the services of
a lawyer to draft your will.
