We provide you with an easy-to-use interface to download your estate plan in less than 5 minutes. Then after, creating an estate plan should not take more than an hour, assuming you have all the required information to fill in, including your and your family's legal names, addresses, and other contact information. Your executors, Trustees, Decision maker or agent, witnesses' legal names, and other contact information. Your part is to ensure that you fill out the correct information in the appropriate field of your estate plan.
We do our best to give you an estate plan that has proper format spacing (in MS Word document), but still, you will find some abnormalities. We leave it to the user to adjust spacing after filling out information due to different preferences. Do not leave large spaces between paragraphs. If there is a large space for some reason, copy this text "Below space is intentionally left blank." You can write these notes on all pages where you have large spaces. See this screenshot for writing notes. Also, keep the Article related to signing on the same page rather than let it be a breakdown into different pages. For example, if you have an article or section "Witness signing," keep an entire section on the same page, including the title, paragraph, and signature boxes. See this screenshot where Article 22 is on the same page, which is great, but Article 23 is broken down into two pages which is not good.
Your part is to keep the estate plan intact, as provided, and Wassiyyah strongly recommends that you do not make any changes in the language or others. Wassiyyah spent years learning and optimizing estate plans, so making any language changes can impact the outcome. If you are using any software for grammar checking and opening the document with this application running in the background, you will see lots of flags, errors, or corrections required. Do not worry about such flags as those will be there because the estate plan is written in the formal legal language, which cannot be interpreted by software. However, if you find any corrections due to spelling errors or other, please leave your feedback HERE which is greatly appreciated. We will try our best to update in the next revision if necessary.
