Looking for a Free Estate Plan? We’ve got you covered.
In a matter of minutes, you can have a 100% legally valid Will to protect yourself and your loved ones.
We created The Free Estate Plan: Last Will and Testament Template because everyone should have a plan. If you don't, your children and assets will be handled by the probate courts based on generic state laws without regard to your wishes. Regardless of finances, schedule, fear, or anything else that may keep you from having an attorney create your Estate Plan, it is most important to know that your family is taken care of if something happens.
What’s Included in Our Free Estate Plan?
We provide:
An easy-to-use, fill-in-the-blanks Arizona Last Will and Testament
Simple instructions to guide you through writing your Will
A checklist to confirm that your Will has you fully protected
A 5-minute video walkthrough with step-by-step instructions to complete your Will.
All you have to do is download it, print the last 2 pages, follow the instructions to fill in the blanks, then keep it in a safe place.
The Final Step: Don’t Forget Your Powers of Attorney
Picture your DIY estate plan as a well-crafted puzzle, with powers of attorney documents as the missing pieces that complete the picture alongside your handwritten will. While our Free Estate Plan Template takes care of the crucial task of outlining who gets what and how after you're gone, powers of attorney documents bring a different kind of assurance into the mix. Think of them as your backup squad – the financial power of attorney and the health care power of attorney – ready to step in if life throws you a curveball. The financial power of attorney ensures your finances are in trusted hands if you can't manage them yourself, while the health care power of attorney ensures your medical decisions align with your wishes. By fusing these powerhouse documents with your handwritten will, you're not just covering all your bases; you're creating a complete and dynamic plan that safeguards your legacy and your well-being, no matter what life throws your way.
Why Do You Need an Estate Plan?
If you own something or owe something, then you need an Estate Plan... But, it's really about protecting your loved ones.
When you die without an Estate Plan, your estate is handled based on generic state laws without regard to your wishes. That means you don't get to choose your children's guardian or an unmarried partner is left out completely. If all you do is write your own Will, then you've covered at least the most basic part of an Estate Plan!
How Can a Fill-in-the-blanks Will Be Valid?
We have designed thousands of custom Estate Plans for clients in Arizona and California. We also help families after the loss of a loved one through Probate and Estate Administration. So, you can rest assured that even though this template is free, it is a legally valid Will once properly completed. Because at the end of the day, it's not about the money for us. And, estate law supports that. It is 100% legally valid to have a handwritten Will. That is called a “holographic Will”, but it simply means that the document is written entirely in your handwriting. While it won’t avoid probate, a handwritten Will is a great step to take to ensure your loved ones are taken care of.
