Create a Simple Will Online in Less Than 10 Minutes

Why is important to have a will?

You can have more control over what happens to your assets after you pass away if you have a last will and testament. If you pass away intestate, or without a will, the courts will decide how to divide up your estate and all of your possessions.

The courts will also appoint a guardian for children. Your financial accounts, trusts, and life insurance policies with named beneficiares do not pass through probate court.

Changing my will

You should review your will at least every 3 years, but you may not need to change your will each time you review it.

You should also review your will when the following events happen:

• Your children recently reached the age of 18
• You gave birth to or adopted a new child
• You have a new grandchild
• You were recently married or divorced
• someone named in it passed away, you would like to provide for a charitable organization
• If the value of your estate change significantly
• You started a new business
• Tax laws in your state or country changed
• You recently began taking distributions from your IRA or 401(k)
• Or you moved out of state

What is included in the will?

According to your state laws, a will is your statement of wishes. Depending on your needs, it can be a simple or complex will and has the same legal effect.

In a simple will, you can name someone to administer your estate, name your beneficiaries and give them money or property, and name guardians for your minor children.
