Make your wishes clear. Plan for the people who matter.
Decide who should receive your property, who should administer your estate, and whom you would like to care for your children. EstateBee's Legal Will Kit brings together lawyer-prepared will forms, a practical worksheet and step-by-step instructions to help you prepare your own last will and testament.
Written in plain English, this self-help guide explains the choices behind the paperwork. Work through your decisions at your own pace, choose a form suited to your circumstances, and follow the instructions for completing and signing it.
Use this kit to help you:
- Leave money and specific property to family, friends or charities.
- Choose executors and substitutes to administer your estate.
- Nominate guardians and alternatives for your minor children.
- Plan how inherited property should be managed for young beneficiaries, including children's trusts.
- Provide for alternate beneficiaries and consider what happens if a gift fails.
- Record funeral wishes or forgive a debt owed to you.
- Understand witnesses, signing, self-proving affidavits, and keeping your will up to date.
Practical forms and downloadable documents included
The kit contains nine will templates for different circumstances, including single people and people who are married or in a registered domestic partnership, with or without children. Each person makes their own will. A Will Writing Worksheet helps you organize your assets, beneficiaries and appointments before completing the documents.
Downloadable will forms, the worksheet and supporting documents are accessed through an EstateBee account using the instructions and codes supplied in the book. Download a Word version to complete on your computer, or print the form and complete it by hand. The book also includes general and form-specific instructions, additional clauses and a glossary of legal terms.
Prepare more yourself, with a clearer understanding of your choices
From straightforward gifts to arrangements for children, the Legal Will Kit helps you bring your wishes and documents together. It also explains when your circumstances may call for individual advice.
