Here at FreeWill, we also believe in the human instinct to do good—that’s why we’ve made charitable giving especially easy. To date, people have used our platform to commit more than $9.6B+ to nonprofit organizations.

FreeWill really is free!

Our no-cost estate planning tools are made possible by the support of hundreds of nonprofit organizations that work on meaningful issues.

Many people who create their estate plans on FreeWill choose to leave a gift to a cause they care about, and we hope you’ll consider doing the same. It's never too soon to consider the legacy you want to leave behind.

Frequently asked questions

· Why is FreeWill free?

FreeWill's no-charge product is supported by nonprofit organizations. Many of our will-makers choose to leave a portion of their estate to charity, and we hope you'll consider doing the same. FreeWill never sells your personal data to third-parties. For more details on our commitment to data security, please read our privacy (opens in new window) and security (opens in new window) policies.

· Do I need a will?

A will is important for everyone and can be useful regardless of estate size. It’s a way to support the people and causes important to you. Having a will ensures that your wishes are known, saving your loved ones the stress and cost of intestate probate proceedings.

· Does FreeWill offer other end-of-life planning documents?

Yes! We have advance healthcare directives (opens in new window) (also known as healthcare proxies or living wills), and durable financial powers of attorney (opens in new window) as well. All are free to create.

· Can I change my will?

Yes! Your circumstances and wishes may change after you’ve completed your will. If that happens, you can make a new will to replace your old one. All you have to do is sign the new will with witnesses and remember to destroy the previous one.

PLANNED GIVING

Make your free Revocable Living Trust

Minimize the cost, risks and delays of the probate process in making a Last Will and make sure your wishes are carried out, easy and 100% for free, through a Revocable Living Trust. For these reasons we recommend a Trust instead of a Will.

What is a Revocable Living Trust?

A revocable living trust is an estate planning tool that can be used to distribute your possessions to people and organizations when you pass away.

To take full advantage of your revocable living trust, you need to transfer your assets and property to the trust during your lifetime. Once you (the trust's Grantor and Initial Trustee) pass away, a Successor Trustee will distribute the property in the trust according to your wishes outlined in the trust agreement.

 NOTE: Not for pledge payments

Why create a Revocable Living Trust?

To avoid probate
Avoid costly fees and delays by allowing your assets to be distributed without going through probate.

To protect your privacy
Leave your assets to your heirs without subjecting them to public proceedings.

To make a plan together
Create a trust with your spouse or partner so you can protect each other, as well as your children and other beneficiaries.

Beneficiary Designations

Thanks to FreeWill, you can easily plan beneficiaries for your non-probate assets in one place.

Did you know?

  • Having a valid will in place isn’t enough.
  • Assets you pass on outside of your will are called non-probate assets. They include lRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, life insurance policies, and certain bank and brokerage accounts.
  • If beneficiaries are properly set for these non-probate assets (opens in new window), ownership can transfer faster than your assets that must go through probate.

Thanks to FreeWill, you can easily plan beneficiaries for your non-probate assets in one place.

 NOTE: Not for pledge payments

SMART GIVING

Popular tax-smart gifts

Many people are increasingly choosing to gift non-cash assets such as Donor-Advised Funds, IRA's, Real Estate and Stocks, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them. Learn about gifts that maximize the impact of your support while providing tax benefits for you!

Make a grant request from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) in a matter of minutes.

Frequently asked questions

· Is my estate big enough to leave a planned gift?

Yes! Gifts of any size are deeply appreciated. Many people choose to leave a percentage of their estate, which scales up or down with your estate size.

· Can my gift remain anonymous?

Yes! Knowing in advance about your intentions is quite helpful to our staff, but you are always welcome to not share your gift.

· Does it cost anything to plan my estate?

We’ve partnered with FreeWill to help you make a will or trust at no cost to you. You can use this to complete your plans, or you may choose to use the same tools to get your affairs in order before visiting an attorney (who is likely to have a fee associated with finalizing your plans).

· Is my private information secure with FreeWill?

Yes! FreeWill will never share your personal information without your permission.

· Can I edit my documents after I’m done?

Yes. You are always free to revise or update your estate plans.
