What is an Executor?

Choose someone organized, trustworthy, and ideally located in the same state as you.

Specific bequests are distributed before the residuary estate. Up to 6 items supported. Examples: a cash amount, heirloom jewelry, a vehicle, real property, or artwork.

Items not covered by a specific bequest pass through the residuary estate in Section C.

Include Digital Assets Clause?

Authorizes your Executor to access online accounts (email, social media, financial platforms) and cryptocurrency wallets under the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA), adopted in most US states.

Digital Asset Notes (optional - not included in document)

This field is for your personal reference. Store account credentials securely (e.g., encrypted password manager, sealed letter with attorney). Do NOT include passwords in this document.

Do you want to include a Pet Care clause?

Include No-Contest (In Terrorem) Clause?

Any beneficiary who contests the validity of this will (without probable cause) forfeits their entire inheritance. A powerful deterrent against costly legal challenges. Note: some states (e.g., California, Florida) limit enforceability.

Include Self-Proving Affidavit?

A notarized self-proving affidavit means your witnesses don't need to be located and re-examined years after your death. It significantly speeds up probate. Sign with 2 witnesses before a notary public.
