EveryWill uses a template designed to meet your state's requirements. To make your Will valid, you'll need to complete it properly, then print and sign it according to the instructions provided, and meet a few basic requirements.
Most of the basics are the same wherever you live. You'll need to be an adult of sound mind, making your Will of your own free will, and in most cases you'll need to sign it with two adult witnesses present. Some details can vary from state to state, though — things like who's allowed to act as a witness, and exactly how the signing needs to be done. To help with this, the instructions that print out with your EveryWill free Will are already tailored to the state you've chosen.
A quick note on coverage: our platform supports almost every US state, but if your state isn't supported yet, the platform will let you know.
If your situation is more involved, or you need legal advice, you may wish to seek the assistance of an estate planning attorney in your state.
