The Process of Creating a Last Will
LegalZoom makes it easy to create a legally binding Last Will and Testament. Our team of specialists handles all the details from start to finish. The following is a detailed description of our Last Will process.
  • Complete our easy online questionnaire.
  • We prepare your custom Last Will within 2 business days.
    Our document specialists check your answers for completeness and common mistakes before preparing your custom last will.
  • We send your Last Will to you.
    Your documents will be shipped to you according to your handling instructions.
  • Sign your Last Will in the presence of the three witnesses.
    Your three witnesses should not be related to you or to any beneficiaries named in your last will. Your witnesses will also sign the document. If you would like your last will to be self-proving (excludes California), then you must perform this step in the presence of a notary.
  • Store your LegalZoom Last Will in a secure location.
    Keep the original copy of your last will in safe place. Copies should be given to appropriate family members and to the person you named as your executor.
  • Keep your LegalZoom Last Will up-to-date.
    Updating your last will is extremely important, especially after significant life events such as marriage or the birth of children. Select our Gold Package to make unlimited revisions for up to
    five years.
