Last Will and Testament

A Last Will and Testament allows you to communicate your wishes and make things easier for the people you care about. Creating a Last Will and Testament as a part of your estate plan will ensure all you leave behind—including the care of your children—will be taken care of according to your wishes.

Use a Last Will and Testament if:

• You'd like your property, including Digital Assets, distributed according to your wishes after your death.
• You'd like to list the people or organizations that will receive your property after your death.
• You'd like to list the person or group who will carry out the terms of the Last Will.
• You'd like to name who's responsible for minor children if their other parent is unable to take care of them.
• Note: If the value of what you own is going to be larger than the federal estate tax exemption amount, currently $5,340,000, it's a good idea to get an attorney.
• Digital assets: A last will and testament can help you pass along many computer and Internet-related property, including online accounts or digital files. Other examples of digital assets include email accounts, blogs, social-networking websites, online backup services, photo and document sharing websites, business accounts, domain names, virtual property and computer files.
