# Last Will and Testament Template, Free Source: https://nerix.ai/templates/last-will-and-testament Set out who carries out your wishes, who receives what and who cares for your children. Before you send it A will only works if it meets the rules where you live, and those differ a lot. In some countries a will must be written entirely by hand or made before a notary, so a printed one has no effect. Many places require witnesses who receive nothing under the will, and many give family members a share you cannot change. Have a lawyer or notary check it before you sign, especially if you own property in more than one country. ## Fill it in and preview You are signed in.
