Are these estate planning forms free?
Yes. The durable financial power of attorney, medical power of attorney, living will, and HIPAA authorization are free fillable PDFs. No ForeverVault account is required to download them.
Are these fillable PDFs?
Yes. Open the PDF in a browser or a PDF reader, type in the fields, then print and sign. You can also print a blank copy and write by hand.
Are these forms valid in every state?
No. They are general nationwide drafts, not state statutory forms. Signing rules, required wording, witnesses, and notarization differ by state. Have a licensed attorney in your state review the paper before you rely on it.
Is ForeverVault a law firm?
No. ForeverVault is not a law firm and does not give legal advice or represent you. These drafts are for getting organized. Find an attorney if you want counsel.
Do I need an attorney to use these forms?
You should have a licensed attorney in your state review anything you download. A filled-in draft is not, by itself, a finished estate plan.
Where should I keep the signed form?
Keep the signed original where your attorney or state rules require. Upload a current copy to a ForeverVault account so the people you choose can find it. A scanned copy does not replace the original.
