LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

I, {{testator_full_name}}, residing at {{testator_address}}, State of {{state}}, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking any and all prior Wills and Codicils made by me.

ARTICLE I: IDENTIFICATION

I am single and have no children, living or deceased. All references in this Will to 'my children' or 'my issue' are therefore inapplicable.

ARTICLE II: EXECUTOR

I hereby nominate and appoint {{executor_full_name}} of {{executor_address}} as the Executor of this my Last Will and Testament. If {{executor_full_name}} is unable or unwilling to serve, or to continue to serve, as Executor, then I nominate and appoint {{alternate_executor_full_name}} of {{alternate_executor_address}} as the Alternate Executor of this my Last Will and Testament.

My Executor shall have all powers granted by law to carry out the provisions of this Will, including the power to sell, lease, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of any property belonging to my estate, without court order or supervision.

ARTICLE III: PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND TAXES

I direct my Executor to pay all my just debts, funeral expenses, expenses of administration of my estate, and all estate, inheritance, and succession taxes that may be levied upon my estate or upon any interest passing under this Will, out of the residue of my estate, without apportionment.

ARTICLE IV: SPECIFIC BEQUESTS

I give, devise, and bequeath the following specific items of my property to the persons named:

a. To {{beneficiary_1_full_name}} of {{beneficiary_1_address}}, I give {{specific_bequest_1_description}}.

b. To {{beneficiary_2_full_name}} of {{beneficiary_2_address}}, I give {{specific_bequest_2_description}}.

Should any named beneficiary predecease me, their specific bequest shall lapse and become part of my residuary estate.

ARTICLE V: RESIDUARY ESTATE

I give, devise, and bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, of every kind and character, and wherever situated, to {{residuary_beneficiary_full_name}} of {{residuary_beneficiary_address}}.

If {{residuary_beneficiary_full_name}} does not survive me, then I give, devise, and bequeath the whole of my residuary estate to {{alternate_residuary_beneficiary_full_name}} of {{alternate_residuary_beneficiary_address}}.

ARTICLE VI: DISPOSITION OF REMAINS

It is my wish that upon my death, my body be {{disposition_of_remains_preference}}.

I direct that my funeral and burial expenses be paid out of my estate.

ARTICLE VII: GOVERNING LAW

This Will shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of {{state}}.

SIGNATURE
