No matter what your age, stage of life, or whether you have considerable or moderate property, everyone needs a Will.

Even if you decide to create a trust, you will most likely need a Pour-over Will in your estate plan. Creating your legal will or legal will online now brings peace of mind later.

Do I Need a Will?
If you have assets, you should have a Will to specify who should receive your funds and your goods when you pass away. More importantly, a Will lets you say who should be the guardian of your minor children. If you don’t choose a guardian, the court will decide who will care for your kids.
In some cases, you may decide to have a Revocable Living Trust as your primary estate planning document. If you do, you will still need a Pour-over Will to protect all of your assets and your wishes.
Protect your children and your loved ones with a legally binding Will.
Without a will, families often face a lengthy probate process in court, where the state decides how assets are distributed. Creating your estate plan with Gentreo’s online tools helps you outline your wishes clearly, reduce probate delays and costs, and give your loved ones peace of mind.
Legally binding, always up to date.

Estate Planning FAQ About Creating Your Will
Our blogs can help answer the most important questions about estate planning, the probate process, guardianship, executor responsibilities, and property distribution. Our FAQs help ensure you have confidence when making your will.
A Will (or Last Will and Testament) is a legal document that specifies how you want your assets distributed after you pass away and, most importantly, who you want to serve as guardian for your minor children. Without a Will, state courts will decide both who gets your assets and who raises your children, which may not align with your wishes.
If you have assets, property, you should have a Will that directs who should receive your funds and goods, and even your pets, when you pass away. Even if you have limited assets, without a Will, the laws of your state determine who gets those assets, not you. Most of us want to control and choose who gets our belongings.
Your Gentreo online Will includes Parental Guardianship, Beneficiaries, Digital Assets, Pets, and more.
Without a Will, the court appoints someone to be guardian for your minor children and to administer your estate. Your assets are distributed according to your states’ rules. With an online Will, you decide.
A Will only takes effect when you die, while a Living Trust goes into effect during your lifetime. Many people use both—a trust to avoid probate for most assets and a Pour-over Will to catch any remaining assets and transfer them into the trust.
Many people combine a revocable living trust with their will. You’ll still need a Pour-over Will to move remaining assets into your trust.
A Will reflects one person’s unique wishes for how their assets and property should be distributed after death. Even when a married couple shares similar goals, having separate Wills helps ensure each partner’s preferences, beneficiaries, and legal instructions are clearly documented and protected under state law.
You can refer to them however you wish: partner, friend; girlfriend/boyfriend. The way you refer to them has no legal significance. You protect them by providing for them in your online Will and empowering them to act for you in other estate planning documents like a Heath Care Proxy and Power of Attorney.
If you have minor children, it is important that your online Will states who you want to serve as your children’s guardian. If you do not nominate a guardian, the court will appoint someone without any input from you.
Yes. Gentreo's online Wills are created by experienced attorneys and are state-specific, making them legally binding when properly signed and witnessed according to your state's requirements. They hold the same legal weight as Wills created by traditional law firms.
A Pour-over Will works with a Living Trust to transfer any assets you forgot to put in your trust during your lifetime. If you create a Revocable Living Trust through Gentreo, it comes with a Pour-over Will to ensure all your assets are protected.
Yes, this is one of the most important functions of a Will. You can nominate who you want to serve as guardian for your minor children if something happens to you. Without this designation in your Will, the court will appoint a guardian without your input.
If you die without a Will (called dying "intestate"), the court appoints someone to be guardian for your minor children and distributes your assets according to your state's intestacy laws—not according to your wishes. This process is often lengthy, expensive, and may not reflect what you would have wanted.
Your executor should be someone responsible and trustworthy who can handle financial matters and follow instructions. This person will be responsible for gathering your assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing your property according to your Will. Choose someone who is organized and willing to take on this responsibility.
Yes. Your Gentreo Will allows you to make provisions for your pets, including designating who should care for them and potentially setting aside funds for their care.
