Washington Last Will and Testament

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I. Declaration

[Your Name], residing at [Your Company Address], being of sound mind and disposing of memory, do hereby declare this to be my last will, revoking all prior wills and codicils previously made by me.

II. Executor

I appoint [Executor's Name], currently residing at [Executor's Address], as the executor of this Will. If [Executor's Name] is unable or unwilling to serve, I appoint [Alternate Executor's Name], currently residing at [Alternate Executor's Address], as the alternate executor.

III. Debts and Expenses

I direct my executor to pay all my just debts, funeral expenses, and expenses of my last illness out of my estate as soon after my death as is reasonably possible.

IV. Distribution of Property

I give, devise, and bequeath all of my property, both real and personal, wherever situated, and of which I may die seized or possessed, or to which I may be entitled at the time of my death, to the following beneficiaries, in equal shares:

• [Beneficiary 1 Name]

• [Beneficiary 2 Name]

• [Beneficiary 3 Name]

If any of the beneficiaries predecease me or are unable to receive their share, such share shall be distributed equally among the surviving beneficiaries.

V. Guardianship

If at the time of my death, I have any minor children, I nominate [Guardian's Name] of [Guardian's Address] as the guardian of their persons and estates. If [Guardian's Name] is unable or unwilling to serve, I nominate [Alternate Guardian's Name] of [Alternate Guardian's Address] as the alternate guardian.

VI. Miscellaneous Provisions

• I direct that my remains be cremated according to the following instructions: My ashes shall be scattered in the serene waters of Puget Sound, off the coast of Washington, where I have enjoyed many peaceful moments throughout my life.

• I authorize my executor to sell any real or personal property of my estate at public or private sale, for such price and on such terms as my executor deems advisable. It is my wish that any proceeds from the sale be used to settle outstanding debts, fulfill bequests, and distribute the remaining balance to my beneficiaries by this Will.

• If any beneficiary under this Will contests or challenges the validity of this Will or any of its provisions, any share or interest in my estate given to that beneficiary shall be revoked, and such share or interest shall be disposed of as if that beneficiary had predeceased me. I hope that this provision will discourage any unnecessary disputes and ensure that my final wishes are respected and upheld.

VII. Governing Law

I declare that this Will shall be governed by and construed by the laws of the State of Washington.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 18th day of April 2050.
