create_will
Write a will (free)
Draft a complete U.S. last will and testament, optionally with charitable gifts to causes the person chooses. Use when someone wants to make, write or update a will. Interview the person first and pass only facts they gave you; never invent names. Returns the will text, a state-specific signing checklist, a plain-English summary of who inherits, and warnings to resolve before signing. Not legal advice; wills are not produced for Louisiana or North Carolina residents (gift wording is returned instead).

add_charity_to_existing_will
Add a charitable gift to an existing will
Draft a codicil (a short signed amendment) that adds a charitable gift to a will the person already has, plus gift wording to give their attorney. Use when someone already has a will and wants to leave a percentage or dollar amount to causes or charities. Not legal advice; for Louisiana and North Carolina residents only the gift wording is returned.

charity_beneficiary_designations
Name charities on an IRA, 401(k), insurance or bank account
Prepare instructions for naming charities as beneficiaries of retirement accounts, life insurance, bank (payable-on-death) or brokerage (transfer-on-death) accounts, with the percentages to write on each form. No will needed. Traditional IRAs and 401(k)s are often the most tax-efficient assets to leave to charity. Charities must be named specifically.
