Last Will and Testament, Spouse and Children (Louisiana)

This is an example of a will by a married woman with two children. She leaves her entire estate to her children, with a lifetime usufruct of the estate to her spouse. She designates her spouse as executor of her estate, and names a person to serve as tutor of any of her children who are minors at the time of her death. This document is a statutory will drafted in accordance with, and using the attestation clause contained in, La. R.S. 9:2442B. A different attestation clause must be used for wills prepared for those who know how to sign but are physically unable (La. R.S. 9:2442C.), and those who are illiterate or sight-impaired (La. R.S. 9:2443B). (more...)
