# Make a Will online in minutes. Customized, state-specific Last Will and Testament for individuals or couples. ### Will Plan Documents ## Everything you need for a smooth transition. All the documents included in a Will Plan are specific to your state’s laws, designed by estate planning attorneys, and customized by you. ### Last Will & Testament A legally binding document that outlines: - Who inherits your assets—including money, property, and personal belongings. - Who will take care of your minor children or pets by naming a legal guardian. - Who will manage your affairs after you pass (your executor). - Your final arrangements, such as burial or cremation preferences. **Why it matters**: Without a Last Will and Testament, state laws decide what happens to your assets and dependents, which may not align with your wishes. ### HIPAA Authorization This document allows your chosen representatives to access your medical records and discuss your healthcare with doctors. - Ensures your family or appointed decision-makers can get critical medical information. - Complies with federal privacy laws so providers can legally share details about your care. **Why it matters**: Without this, even close family members may be denied access to your medical information in an emergency. ### Advance Healthcare Directive (aka Living Will) A legal document that outlines your medical preferences if you're unable to communicate them yourself. It includes: - Life-sustaining treatment preferences (e.g., ventilators, feeding tubes). - Pain management and comfort care choices. - Religious or personal values regarding end-of-life care. - Designation of a healthcare agent (someone who makes medical decisions on your behalf). **Why it matters**: If you don’t document your preferences, doctors or courts may decide for you, potentially against your wishes. ### Power of Attorney A Power of Attorney (POA) allows you to appoint someone to manage your financial or legal affairs if you become incapacitated. - Make financial transactions (pay bills, file taxes, manage investments). - Handle property and legal matters on your behalf. - Avoid costly court intervention by pre-selecting a trusted agent. **Why it matters**: Without a POA, your family may need court approval to handle your affairs, causing delays and expenses. # Estate Plans: The Will Plan ### The simple, legal way to protect what matters most.

Through Trust & Will, it takes as little as 30 minutes to complete your Last Will and Testament. ### What is the difference between a Trust and a Will? A [Revocable Living Trust](https://trustandwill.com/trust/ "Learn More About a Revocable Living Trust") is the most comprehensive Estate Plan and offers people more control over when and how their assets are distributed. Trusts also allow you to avoid probate court. A Will Plan lets you nominate guardians for your children and specify your healthcare preferences, final arrangement wishes, and how you want your assets distributed. ### Does my Will have to be notarized? Legally, your Last Will and Testament does not have to be notarized. However, it will be harder to administer after your death with no notarization. Most Wills today (including Trust & Will’s) are designed to be self-proving. This makes it easier to administer after death. A self-proving Will does require notarization. ### Can I speak to an attorney about my Will? While it is not necessary to get an attorney to create a legally-valid Will, we do offer our members optional attorney support for an additional fee when you create your Will through Trust & Will. They can provide you with legal advice, discuss any tax consequences associated with your decisions, and review your documents line-by-line. ### When should I update my Will? We suggest that individuals review and/or update their Wills after any life milestone or every three to five years. Milestones can include: marriage or remarriage, the purchase of a home, the birth of your first child and subsequent children, the first time you travel without your children, and any deaths in the family. ### Do I need an attorney to update my Will? Updating your Will is easy and you certainly do not need an attorney to make changes to your Will. There are three ways to go about updating your Will: create a codicil, write a brand new Will, or make a personal property memorandum. ### Can I write a Will for someone else? Yes, you can create a Will for someone else. Whether it’s for your spouse, child, or a loved one with dementia, Trust & Will makes the process easy. Keep in mind that the person for whom the Will is created will need to review and approve the document for it to be valid. ### What happens if I don't have a Will? If you pass away without a Will, it’s known as dying intestate. Intestacy laws vary from state to state but typically, the court will decide how your assets and debts will be distributed. Prioritizing your Estate Planning is the best way to ensure that your wishes will be properly executed. ### Does a Will protect me from probate? No, a will must go through probate to validate its instructions and distribute assets. Assets not titled jointly, payable-on-death, or included in a trust are subject to probate. ### Are payment plans available? Yes. Payment plans are available for both Will and Trust-Based Estate Plans. Complete your documents and make 4 equal, interest-free payments.
