Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a will and a testament?
Historically, a 'will' referred to real property (land and buildings) and a 'testament' referred to personal property. Today, the terms are used interchangeably, and 'last will and testament' is the standard legal term for a document that expresses your final wishes about how your property should be distributed after death.
Do I need a lawyer to write a will?
While not legally required in most jurisdictions, consulting a lawyer is recommended for complex estates, blended families, or significant assets. For simple estates, our free template provides a solid foundation. However, a will must meet your state's legal requirements (witnesses, signatures) to be valid — these requirements vary by state.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you die without a will (intestate), your state's intestacy laws determine how your assets are distributed, which may not reflect your wishes. Your property typically goes to your closest relatives in a specific order defined by law. This process can also be slower, more expensive, and may result in family disputes.
How often should I update my will?
You should review and update your will after any major life event: marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a beneficiary, significant change in assets, or moving to a different state. At minimum, review your will every 3-5 years to ensure it still reflects your wishes.
