The Problem

Where is your Will? Once people create their Will, they often forget to mention to family members where the document is stored. There is also no guarantee that family members will remember what you told them, or that you will be able to keep them informed every time you move your Will to a new location. Contrary to what many lawyers might tell you, most people do not store their Will in a safety deposit box at a bank. A legal Will is more likely to be kept somewhere in your home, often well hidden from prying eyes.

What are your assets? You should not provide a detailed list of your assets in your legal Will. If you do, then every time there is a change in your possessions, you will have to update your Will. Instead, you should document your assets separately, such that they can be communicated to the “Executor” of your Will after you have passed away. Your Executor will make good use of this information to locate all of the assets in your estate.

The Solution

When you pass away, let us worry about communicating the location of your Will and a list of your assets. At USLegalWills.com, in collaboration with our parent company PartingWishes.com, we offer a unique messaging service which allows you to describe the exact location of your Will and to provide a detailed list of assets for your Executor.

It’s FREE. This optional service is provided for FREE when you create a Will here at USLegalWills.com. There is simply no other company that provides such a complete and convenient service to their customers.

Your privacy is fully protected. The messages you create which document your assets and the location of your Will are completely private and secure. They are stored in a fully encrypted format on our servers and no one can read them --- not even us. Furthermore, none of the information you provide is communicated until after you have passed away, and only to the people you specify, so you can rest assured that your privacy is protected. And you are free to make changes any time you wish.

You control who can access your information. If you choose to use our unique messaging service, you can designate up to 20 different “Keyholders®”. Each of these Keyholders® will be given the power to unlock your Will and its associated information after you have passed away. Security mechanisms to prevent unauthorized premature access to this information are also available and are fully customizable by you.

You can even store your Will online. Storing your Will online on our secure server is optional (and free), but it is a good idea for a number of reasons. First of all, it allows you to make unlimited modifications and updates to your Will without having to rewrite it each time, and for no additional charge. (Why pay a lawyer every time you need to update your Will?) Furthermore, although this online version of your Will is not a legally binding document (as it is not signed and witnessed), it may be useful to loved ones if your actual Will cannot be located.
