Frequently Asked Questions

A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death. If you have minor children or pets, it determines who will be their guardian after you pass away. Your will ensures your wishes are honored for your loved ones. Having a will can help prevent disputes and reduce the stress and cost of intestate probate proceedings (court determined distribution of assets). 

An estate refers to all the money, property and assets you own.

An estate plan is a life plan. Estate planning refers to the preparation of documents and tasks that carry out your wishes when you pass away. 

My Estate Plan provides an easy and affordable way to create a legally valid will. Soon My Estate Plan will have an app that allows you to create, edit, and store your will. On the app you will also be able to record a video or audio message for your loved ones to be stored with your will. You will also be able to create and manage trusts, beneficiary designations, power of attorney, healthcare directives, funeral instructions, titles, and property deeds - all in one platform.

My Estate Plan guides you through a step-by-step process to create your legal documents. You start by answering a series of questions about your wishes and assets. Based on your answers, we generate customized documents ready for legal validation. It's simple. 

My Estate Plan provides a simple, stress free, and affordable way to create and manage your will. Start by answering simple questions about you and your wishes. The questions take time so do them at your pace, whenever you want. At the end of those questions, you will receive your will. Depending on your will package, we will next coordinate a quick and easy online notary of your will to make it self proving. This makes it easier for your loved ones down the road.

My Estate Plan's will questionnaire takes about 30 minutes depending on the details of your estate. You can answer the questions whenever you want and save your place so you can come back to them if you don't finish. Once all your information is submitted, you get your custom will within 48 hours. Depending on your package, we will then coordinate a quick and easy online notary whenever is most convenient for you. 

Yes. As soon as you sign it in front of two qualified witnesses, it is a valid legal document. 

Your two witnesses should be 18 or older, be of sound mind, and cannot be named in the will. My Estate Plan offers notary services for an additional fee and can provide witnesses for you if needed.

Generally, no but a notary is required if you want to make your will self-proving. When a will is self-proving, the court can accept your will without needing to contact your witnesses to prove its validity. This can speed up the probate process. To make your will self-proving, you must include a self-proving affidavit. Your self-proving affidavit must be signed by both you and your witnesses in front of a notary, who will then notarize the affidavit.

My Estate Plan will securely store a digital copy of your will for easy access and updates. You should also keep a printed copy of your will in a safe, secure place known by the person you pick as your executor. 

Yes, you can update your will at any time. Once you have an account, our platform allows for easy modifications to ensure your will always reflects your current wishes. We make it easy to come back to your will at any time, edit it, and generate a new one. Your updated will must be printed out and sign it in front of two witnesses. It will also need to be notarized again if you want to make it self-proving.

Yes. To do so, simply create and execute a new will using My Estate Plan, and destroy the earlier version.
