This is a California Statutory Will. It can be used to make specific devises of the testator's personal residence, automobiles, and household, and personal effects. It may also be used to devise money, to nominate a guardian for a person under the age of 18 years, and to nominate an executor and alternate executors. The will is not suitable for use when tax-saving is one of the testator's goals, when the testator wishes to disinherit a spouse or children, or when the testator wishes to create a trust. Because it offers a limited choice of testamentary options and does not address potential tax consequences, it is not recommended for use by attorneys.
This document cannot be modified by striking out or adding clauses to the statutory clauses. Any additions or deletions made on the face of a California Statutory Will not in accordance with the statutory instructions may be disregarded or render the will unenforceable.
For further information on how to interpret and prepare a Statutory Will, as well as how it is administered, see the Probate Code of California.
