    Commonly Asked Questions

      What is the difference between a will and a trust?

      A last will takes effect upon your death and allows you to specify gifts of things you own, who you would like to care for your minor children (if you have them), and what you would like as a final resting place for your body and any end-of-life ceremony requests.

      A revocable living trust is a will substitute that goes into effect immediately once it’s funded (while you’re living) and efficiently transfers your assets upon death without going through the probate process. Revocable living trusts offer greater privacy and control over how and when your distributions are made, and they can also be helpful to avoid guardianship proceedings if you become unable to manage your own affairs.

      How long does creating a last will take?

      Most members create their Just In Case Estates last will in about 10-15 minutes.

      Your answers are saved as you go, and so you can complete your last will over one or multiple sessions. If you need to make any changes, doing so is quick and easy.

      Can I make a will without a lawyer?

      For most people, choosing whether to make a last will with or without a lawyer is a matter of personal preference. You do not need a lawyer to make a legally valid last will.

      Just In Case Estates’ document generator is crafted by our network of attorneys, and our last will plans are guaranteed to be legally valid to meet the specific requirements of your state.

      Does my will have to be notarized?

      Signing requirements for wills vary from state to state. Only a few states require that wills be notarized for valid execution. However, doing so is generally a good idea anyways because in most states it makes the will self-proved.

      Included in your completed Just In Case Estates last will package, you’ll find our signing ceremony guide to make sure all your documents are executed properly and made official.

      How often should I update my will?

      Conventional wisdom is that you should update your last will as your life changes – typically whenever you hit a life milestone like getting married, celebrating the birth of a new child, selling or buying a house, moving to a new state, or at least once every 3 to 5 years.

      When you make your last will with Just In Case Estates, updating your last will is quick and easy.

      What happens if I die without a will?

      If you die without a will, you forfeit the opportunity to direct what happens to things you own and the people and interests for which you are responsible. The intestacy laws of your state, which are the laws that govern the administration of estates for people who die without a will, take over. Intestacy proceedings generally cost more and take longer compared to probate with a will, and they may lead to outcomes contrary to your desires.
