Ask Standard Legal

Can I Create a Will That Distributes Assets Only to My Child at Age 25?

No, such a restriction cannot be accomplished through a standard Last Will and Testament. But there may be a somewhat complex solution if such a requirement is truly desired.A “Spendthrift Trust” might accomplish the desired intention. However, significant research should be done or legal advice sought from a qualified attorney prior to creating such a Trust, as it is a complex structure.

A Spendthrift is not a common Trust format, so Standard Legal does not offer such a document package.
