To answer your question we turned to Nolo Press, a publisher of self-help law books and software. Nolo's Legal Dictionary is not a substitute for professional advice, but it's an excellent starting place. Read through the Wills and Estate Planning section to find out what makes a will legal and whether a no-frills will can meet your needs. Nolo's straight-talking approach and well-organized information make it a first class consumer law site. We typed the phrase "last will and testament" into Yahoo!'s search box to see if we could turn up any other noteworthy resources. In the Dead Celebrities > Wills category we found a cool site
called Wills on the Web. This collection includes the legacies of Benjamin Franklin, John Lennon, Walt Disney, and Princess Diana. It linked us to the Last Will and Testament of an Extremely Distinguished Dog, written in 1940 by playwright Eugene O'Neill, and proving that on the Internet even dogs have wills. We also found the Cryonicist's Will from the Life Extension Society. You can use it to request that your human remains, or at very least your brain and brain stem, be preserved by experimental cryogenic preservation. At the Internet Legal Resource Guide, we found a legal form titled Last Will and Testament. Do remember that estate law varies from country to country and state to state, and that wills often require witnesses and notarization. May you live till one hundred and twenty.
