GETTING STARTED

What is a Last Will & Testament? 

A Last Will & Testament is an estate planning tool that allows you to establish a formal, legal document to clearly define your wishes for how assets and property should be distributed after you pass away. 

A Last Will and Testament is also commonly referred to as:

  • Will

  • Will and Testament

  • Last Will

  • Last Wishes

  • Bequests

Do not confuse your Last Will and Testament with other types of Wills. For example, a Living Will may sound like what you’re looking for when you first begin planning for the future. But in reality, these two documents are vastly different in both scope and purpose.

A Living Will is a legal document that conveys your wishes for end-of-life medical treatment. It legally appoints someone the authority to make decisions on your behalf. As you can see, this is not what you’re looking for if you’re hoping to put together a Last Will and Testament template.
