Wills
The creation of a will allows you to assign how your assets will be allocated, what will donated to charity and how your minor children will be cared for by designating a guardian.

The importance of a will is obvious, however over 70% of Americans don't have one for a myriad of reasons, including time constraints, fear of high cost and the macabre requirement to think about your own mortality. Without a will the state is left to decide who is entitled to your personal items and who is granted custody of your minor children.

The formation of a will can be painlessly completed in a relatively simple 3 step process online through LegalZoom, the company co-founded by attorney Robert Shapiro which has helped over 20,000 customers prepare legal documents quickly and efficiently...


Complete the Will Questionnaire:
Fill out LegalZoom's easy-to-follow will questionnaire, which was created by experienced attorneys. Unlike other services, LegalZoom's will is not a "simple will," but rather a comprehensive will that is custom modified for your unique situation. It contains advanced options to substantially enhance the quality of the will. LegalZoom even gives you ways to protect your children after you are gone.

Review and Processing:
LegalZoom will review your answers for completeness and other common mistakes. LegalZoom then prepares your will and prints it on high-quality bond paper. With LegalZoom, you can relax, knowing that your document was completed accurately.

Final Wrap-Up:
LegalZoom will then send you your will within 48 hours, either via first-class mail, overnight mail or e-mail. There’s no need to download or struggle with print settings! If you need it immediately, we also offer same-day processing. Then, simply follow our final wrap-up instructions to make the will valid.
