There are certain conditions to be fulfilled to come up with a will and testament. A legal will is possible only if the person writing it is at least 18 years old. There must be an explicit expression that what he is composing is a last will and testament. The person must be of sound mind at the time of the signing. And, it must be dated, signed and witnessed by at least two people.

A legal will gives the owner the peace of mind that when his time comes, all his intentions about his properties will be followed. There is nothing more devastating than having family members fight over what is left of the assets of the deceased. Unfortunately, we see this happen quite often. Siblings become enemies and families are broken. What is lamentable is that this could have been prevented. Preparing a legal will could have avoided this misfortune.
