Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: Legal age IN CALIF

If you mean how old do you have to be to make a Will,I do not think there is a legal age limit, but th younger you are the more likely a court would find you did not have the mental capacity to know what you were doing. You still should made a Will as it directs your parents or who ever survives you as to what your wishes were. If the entire document is in your handwriting [including date, letterhead, etc.] then you can make a Will in California that does not have to have any witnesses present and say they saw you sign it.

Is there a reason for asking the question or are you just wondering? I hope you are not intended to do something to yourself. Such thoughts are normally curable.

Re: Legal age IN CALIF

I'm not sure what you mean. The legal age to apply for letters of administration to probate someone else's will, or the legal age to make a will. I assumeyou mean the former. In that case it is 18 unless the person is an emancipated minor.
