Free forms for a simple will
What is a Simple Will?
Deciding to create a Simple Will is one of the best gifts you can give to your loved ones. Having a Will in place when you pass away eliminates the confusion and uncertainty that comes with dying intestate (without a Will). A Simple Will provides your loved ones with a roadmap for how you wish your assets to be distributed and lets you appoint an Executor to oversee the administration of your estate. By completing our Simple Will form, you gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing your wishes will be honored when you are gone.
When to use a Simple Will:
- You own property, including Digital Assets, (see below) that will need to be distributed after your death.
- You want to choose the people or organizations that will receive your property after your death.
- You want to appoint the person or organization who will carry out the terms of the Will.
- You want to designate who will have responsibility for minor children if the other parent is unable to serve as the natural guardian.
- Note: If your estate will be valued at more than $5,120,000 (the federal estate tax exemption amount currently) this Simple Will Form is best used for research and planning. An attorney's help is recommended for estate plans for larger estates.
- Digital Assets: Any online accounts or files stored on a computer or server are included. Examples of digital assets you might want your simple will to include are: email accounts, blogs, social-networking websites, online backup services, photo and document sharing websites, financial and business accounts, domain names, virtual property, and computer files.
