A: If it is an emergency, or if he is certain this form is right for his situation, there is a free will form at: http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/0/documents/publications/Will-Form.pdf However, depending on what he owns, there may be better ways to transfer his property. Also, a personalized will may fit him better, and handle more situations. A simple will prepared by an attorney is not expensive. Best to have a consultation with an estate planning attorney.
