Important Notes:

• This is just a sample and should not be used as a substitute for professional legal advice.
• A Will must be signed by you (the Testator) in the presence of two witnesses who are of sound mind and above 18 years of age. The witnesses should not be beneficiaries of the Will.
• It's highly recommended to consult with a lawyer experienced in estate planning to ensure your Will is legally sound and reflects your wishes accurately. They can guide you through the Will creation process and tailor it to your specific situation.
