Subject: Transmittal of Last Will and Testament Drafts — Kansas Sample Letters Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to provide you with the necessary drafts of Last Will and Testaments as per your request. These drafts have been carefully prepared by legal professionals and are intended to serve as a guide in establishing your final wishes and instructions regarding the distribution of your estate. 1. General Last Will and Testament Draft: This type of draft encompasses the basic framework required to create a comprehensive and legally binding Last Will and Testament. It covers essential clauses such as the appointment of an executor, the identification of beneficiaries, instructions for asset distribution, guardianship provisions for minor children, and provisions for alternative beneficiaries in case of any unforeseen circumstances. 2. Pour-Over Will Draft: This type of draft is commonly used in conjunction with a revocable living trust. The Pour-Over Will is designed to "pour over" any assets not already held within the trust, ensuring they are still transferred into the trust upon your passing. It acts as a safety net to capture any assets inadvertently excluded from the trust during your lifetime. 3. Holographic Will Draft: A Holographic Will is a handwritten document drafted entirely in your own handwriting. In the state of Kansas, such wills are recognized as valid legal documents, even if they lack witnesses. While the use of a holographic will is an option, it is generally recommended executing a formal, witnessed will to avoid any potential legal complications. 4. Living Will Draft: Unlike a traditional Last Will and Testament, a Living Will pertains to healthcare-related decisions and end-of-life wishes rather than asset distribution. It enables you to specify your desires regarding medical treatments, resuscitation, life support measures, and organ donation, in case you become unable to communicate your wishes due to incapacitation. Please note that these drafts are provided solely as templates and should be reviewed and customized to your specific requirements under the guidance of a qualified legal professional. It is crucial to consult an attorney throughout the drafting and execution process to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in the state of Kansas.
