Our intent on this website and in your death preparation discussions is NOT to provide advice or detailed information regarding your wills, trusts, and estate plans!
You need to consult and work with a lawyer in your home state to decide what works best for you and your situation.
However, it is important to distinguish between these three documents, so that you will understand why death planning and our When I Leave You guide (click below to download) are so important :
What is important for you to do during your death planning process is to ensure that the information in any of these legal documents is included on your death detail preparation form, such as our When I Leave You guide.
At a minimum, the information you to include is:
Please be sure to have your Final Will signed and witnessed !
and
Give a copy of all of these documents to the Executor/Executrix of your estate!
