Wills for Everyone
Creating a will is an essential step in securing your legacy and making sure that your loved ones are cared for when you’re no longer around. Whether you have a large estate or a modest one, the act of creating a will ensures that your final wishes are carried out, minimizing potential conflicts and legal challenges. At Wills.com, we offer a flexible, user-friendly platform that simplifies the will creation process, making it accessible to everyone. No longer a daunting or expensive task, drafting a will with Wills.com is simple, secure, and affordable.
Asset & Property Management
One of the most important aspects of any will is how you distribute your assets and property. When creating a will through Wills.com, you can easily specify recipients and beneficiaries for your physical properties, financial accounts, and taxable assets. Our platform enables you to list the exact location of your assets, be it a home, vehicle, or even a piece of jewelry, and detail how they should be distributed. You can also include special instructions for each asset to clarify your intentions, which can help simplify the probate process. This step is vital for ensuring your belongings go exactly where you intend, reducing potential conflicts or misunderstandings among heirs. A well-crafted will means your estate will be distributed according to your precise wishes, giving you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are protected.
Pet Care Directive
For many, pets are family, and ensuring their care after you pass is just as important as caring for your loved ones. With Wills.com, you can include a Pet Care Directive in your will, allowing you to designate a trusted individual to take care of your pets. You can also specify instructions regarding their care, such as dietary needs, medical care, or even preferred living arrangements. This means your pets will continue to receive the love and attention they deserve, even when you’re no longer able to provide it. This thoughtful inclusion ensures that your furry friends are not left behind or placed in uncertain circumstances, securing their well-being for years to come.
Guardianship for Children
If you have minor children, one of the most crucial decisions you’ll make in your will is selecting a legal guardian. This step ensures that your children are cared for by someone you trust in the unfortunate event of your passing. With Wills.com, you can easily nominate a guardian, offering you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your children’s future is protected. You can also specify secondary or alternative guardians, providing a backup plan in case your first choice is unable to fulfill their duties. This ensures your children will be raised in a loving environment according to your wishes. Child guardianship is a sensitive matter, but planning for it in your will ensures that your children’s care is handled in a thoughtful and secure way.
Easy Storage on the Wills App
Once you’ve created your will, storing it securely is essential. The Wills.com App provides a safe, accessible way to store all your important estate planning documents, including your will. You can upload and manage your documents easily, ensuring they are always accessible when needed by your executor or beneficiaries. Secure digital storage means you don’t have to worry about losing a physical copy, and your loved ones can retrieve your will promptly. Moreover, our app allows for easy updates to your will, ensuring your wishes stay current as your life circumstances change. This level of accessibility provides unparalleled peace of mind, knowing that your will is safely stored and easily retrievable.
Remote Online Notarization (RON) – Modern Convenience at Your Fingertips
Imagine being able to finalize your will without leaving your home—no driving to appointments, no coordinating with an in-person notary, and no hassle. That's what Remote Online Notarization (RON) offers, and it's changing the landscape of estate planning. With RON, you can have your will legally notarized from anywhere with an internet connection, providing ultimate flexibility and security.

It’s fast, convenient, and just as secure as traditional methods.
RON is available in many states such as Arizona, Colorado, Florida, and more, with new states adding legislation each year to accommodate online notarization. To find out if RON is available in your state, visit our dedicated RON page. You’ll not only save time and effort but ensure your will meets all legal requirements.
