Alaska Last Will - Form and Laws
When most people think about estate planning, they think about a will. A will is a document that declares how a person's property should be distributed after they die. In Alaska, there are a few things that you should know about wills. First, Alaska is a community property state. This means that, unless a will specifically says otherwise, any property acquired during a marriage is jointly owned by the husband and wife. This includes property that is acquired before the marriage, as well as property that is acquired during the marriage. Second, Alaska allows for the creation of a trust. A trust is a document that allows a person to appoint someone to manage their property after they die. This can be a helpful tool for people who want to ensure that their property is distributed in a specific way. Finally, Alaska allows for the creation of an estate plan that is tailored to the specific needs of the person creating it. For example, a person might choose to create a trust to manage their property, or they might choose to give specific property to specific people. No matter what your needs are, Alaska has a will and estate planning option that can help you meet them.
