The Washington DC Joint Will For Married Couple is a document executed by two persons (often a husband and wife) leaving everything to the other person upon the death of the first person. When the surviving spouse dies, the estate is then left to the children (or other beneficiaries) in equal shares. The will must be executed when the person is of sound mind and must be witnessed by unrelated persons. The form does not need to be notarized, except in Louisiana where it is required. We highly recommend that you consult with a competent attorney to ensure that this Washington DC Joint Will For Married Couple meets all of the legal requirements in your state.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some states do not recognize the right of survivorship. Certain states consider the estate taxable if the value of the decedent’s assets exceed the state or federal limits. Check with an attorney if you live in a community property state and aren’t sure on your state’s treatment of assets received from your deceased spouse.
