Why do I need a will?
No matter your age, wealth, or health, you should have a will. Without the right documentation, the courts decide what happens to your assets—and more importantly, the pets, children, and adults in your care. Children can end up in foster care if the court doesn't deem anyone acceptable or no one volunteers, and pets can end up in shelters. Unlike spouses, long-term partners generally don't have automatic legal rights to anything not also in their names.Assets don't need to be financially valuable—sentimentality matters. This is part of why it's crucial to create a will, no matter how old you are. Life and death are unpredictable, and you probably know who would want certain belongings and pets.DID YOU KNOW?
You and your spouse need separate wills. Even if the information is identical, you cannot have a joint will.

We are serious about security.
We’re using the AES-256 encryption method. It’s the only cipher approved by the U.S. National Security Agency for top secret information. The only way to break our security would be by a brute force attack. This means a computer has to try every possible combination of 64 characters one after another. Deciphering a single AES-256 code would take longer than the universe exists. Simply put… your data is safe.
There's no time like the present to protect the people you love.
