I am thinking about preparing a living will for my mother and have a question about witnesses. I realize that relatives by marriage cannot witness but how far do you take that? I know my mother’s daughter-in-law can’t be a witness but can my mother’s daughter-in-law and her husband be a witness. They will not be named in any last will and testament.

Misinformation, Misunderstandings, and Mistakes
The best gift you can give your loved ones is to have your Estate Planning complete.
Unfortunately, to a great extent, misinformation about critical terms such as inheritance tax, estate tax, probate, avoiding probate, simple will, living will, and living trust, tends to lead to misunderstandings of estate planning.
These misunderstandings, in turn, tend to lead to mistakes in estate planning.
These mistakes, again, in turn, tend to lead to unintended results after one’s death.
In an effort to eliminate such misinformation, misunderstandings, and mistakes, this article will hopefully serve as a review – in very simple terms – of the basic, core issues of estate planning and its basic documents.
We want to be sure my son gets our properties when one (or both of us dies).
I had an Estate Income Tax situation that required a legal interpretation, where as the beneficiaries were in disagreement with the Executor over who should report the income.
Mr. Whalen started working on the problem, and did not stop until my problem was resolved.
If I could add five more stars I certainly would.
