The Process of Creating a Last Will

• Complete our easy online questionnaire.
• We create your custom Last Will within 2 business days.
  Our document assistants check your answers for spelling, grammar and consistency. Then, our LegalZip software creates your Last Will and Testament.
• 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 witnesses.
  Your 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.
  
  Please note: self-proving affidavits are not valid in District of Columbia, Maryland, Ohio, or Vermont. In California, there is no requirement for a self-proving affidavit so wills are considered 'proved' upon proper execution.
• 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.
