Disclaimer

Read this first. These are free general nationwide drafts. They are not state statutory forms, not legal advice, and not a substitute for an attorney. Filling one in does not, by itself, create a valid estate plan.

Laws and signing rules differ by state. Some states require exact wording, two witnesses, a notary, or a statutory form. Have a licensed attorney in your state review anything you download, and follow that state's witnessing and notarization rules.

ForeverVault is not a law firm and does not represent you. See the disclaimer. If you want counsel, find an estate planning attorney.
