Will Writing Service · United States · Wills, Guardians, Executors and Trusts
Get a last will and testament written by international estate planning lawyers experienced with US state laws. Tell us who should inherit, who should look after your children and who should carry out your wishes. We write the will around your answers, for a fixed fee you agree upfront.
Share your state, who you want to inherit, and whether you have children. We reply with the scope, timeline and fee, usually within two hours. Everything you tell us is confidential. Please do not attach IDs or account numbers here.
A will says who gets your property, who looks after your children and who handles your estate after you die. If you do not have one, your state decides, and its rules may not match what you want. A will writing service gives you a document built around your life, not a blank form you fill in alone.
Our international estate planning lawyers are experienced with US state law. We ask about your family, your property and your wishes, then draft a last will and testament that follows your state’s rules on signing and witnesses. This page is for wills in the United States. For the same service in other countries, see our global will drafting service. To learn what makes a will valid, read our guide to creating a valid will.
Choose what fits, or tell us your situation and we will advise.
For one person, or a couple with matching wills. It covers who inherits, who is your executor and who looks after your minor children.
See the last will and testament template for the usual layout.
Name who raises your children if both parents die, with a back-up choice. You can also decide who manages the money you leave them, and until what age.
Leave assets in a trust for children, a spouse or a family member who needs help managing money. We also write pour-over wills that work with a living trust.
Not sure if you need one? Read will vs trust and how to choose the right trust.
Leave a house, a car, savings, jewellery or items with sentimental value to named people. We use clear wording so the gift cannot be read two ways.
Provide for a spouse and for children from an earlier marriage in the same will, with wording that makes your intention clear and lowers the chance of a family dispute.
Cover your LLC or company interest in your will so the business has a plan if you die.

A marriage, divorce, birth, move to a new state or big change in assets can make an old will wrong. We prepare a codicil or a fresh will and tell you which is safer.
Companion documents that cover medical decisions and money matters while you are alive. Ask us to prepare them with your will.
The people and families we write for.
The most urgent point is a guardian. If you do not name one, a court chooses. We also set up how and when your children receive money.
We cover the house, bank accounts and personal items. We also remind you that retirement accounts and life insurance usually go to the person named on the beneficiary form, not under your will, so the two must match.
Matching wills for spouses, or separate plans for a second marriage, so a partner is looked after and children from before are not left out.
A will that deals with your ownership share, names who steps in, and works with your LLC or partnership papers.
If you hold US assets and property in your home country, you may need more than one will. We coordinate the US will with the will for property abroad. For India, see will writing services in India.
Owning US property or accounts can bring US estate tax at a much lower threshold than for US citizens, and a US court process after death. We advise how to set up your will with that in mind.
Wills are a state matter in the US. These are the points we check for your state.
Most states want the will signed in front of two witnesses. Who can witness, and whether a notary is needed, differs by state.
A notarised statement signed with the will. In many states it lets the court accept the will without calling the witnesses, which can speed up probate.
In states such as California, Texas and Arizona, spouses may co-own property by law. That affects what each of you can leave in a will.
Many states stop a spouse being fully cut out of a will. Louisiana follows civil law and has its own forms and rules for children.
Some states accept electronic or remote signing, and some accept handwritten wills. Many do not. We tell you what applies where you live.
The federal estate tax only reaches larger estates: the exemption is $15 million per person in 2026. Some states have their own estate or inheritance tax at much lower levels.
For an overview of how US courts and states fit together, read the legal system in the United States. For all our US services, see legal services in the United States.
Tell us your state, your family and what you want to leave to whom, through the form or WhatsApp.
We confirm the scope, timeline and a fixed fee in writing.
You get a clear draft and one round of discussion on the points that matter.
We send step-by-step signing instructions for your state, covering witnesses, notary and the self-proving affidavit where it applies.
Keep the original safe, tell your executor where it is, and come back to us when your life changes.
