Spinoff: Creating a simple will

You can just google a sample will put out by your state's bar association. Just make sure you follow the requirements of your state to make sure it is valid.

Is there an easy way to create a will for someone with no dependents and isn't married?

---

If you're in Louisiana, yes.

You can write a will (must be in your own handwriting) on a napkin if you want to and just date the will. No other requirements for this type of will. It's called an olographic will.

Or, you can type a will but you must have it notarized and signed by two witnesses. This is called a notarial will.

Do I have to detail all of my assets or can I use generic language? I'm in Texas so I'll have to check state law.

thanks everyone!

I'm not familiar with Texas law at all. Sorry.

Russian, you meant "holographic".

Other states refer to a handwritten will as holographic.

In Louisiana it's referred to as olographic.
