Alabama Estate Planning Rules
Creating a will in Alabama comes with specific requirements. While My Last Word handles the heavy lifting, it's important to understand the local laws that protect your legacy.
Witness Requirements
Two witnesses
Probate Threshold
Estates under $30,000 (roughly, adjusted by CPI) may qualify for simplified procedures.
Specific Laws You Should Know
Small Estate Summary Distribution
Alabama allows for a "Summary Distribution" for small estates (adjusted annually, roughly $30,000 range), which is much faster than full probate.
Spousal Share
If you die without a will in Alabama, your spouse does NOT automatically get everything if you have parents or children. A will is crucial to ensure your spouse is fully protected.
