Q: How to modify Colorado will to include all children?
I received a Colorado Will and Testament form from a lawyer through Justia. It only has three spaces for beneficiaries, but I have four children. I want to distribute my assets equally among them, with my daughter receiving a higher percentage. I plan to include my home in the will unless I sell it in the future. How should I proceed with these modifications to ensure all my children are included as beneficiaries? What do I do if there is only three spaces for beneficiaries, should I put the other child on a separate piece of paper?

A: You would write in all four beneficiaries. But making your own will is dangerous, especially the execution. Hire a CO attorney to draft and execute that will.
