Typically, financial institutions and municipalities offer notarization services. You can also get notarized at UPS stores. You may need to make appointments, and ensure that either they can provide witnesses, or you may need to have witnesses meet you there.
Congrats!! Next step is to have your Will notarized and signed by witnesses. These instructions could change for each state, so please reference the actual signing instructions included in your document once you have completed it!
To execute (make official) your Last Will, Advance Directive, and Powers of Attorney, you will need two witnesses and a notary public. You can’t just take anyone with you as a witness, so please note your state’s requirements for witnesses:
Your witnesses must be competent adults who are not the agents.
Both witnesses must not be related to you by blood, marriage, or adoption.
The witnesses will not be inheriting any of your property. (Disinterested third party)
Do not sign anything until you and your witnesses are in front of a Notary Public.
For each document, please review the following details and instructions:
1. Last Will & Testament
All names are spelled correctly,
All gift(s) and residuary estate are going to who you want them to go to,
You have correctly identified your Personal Representative(s)
You have correctly identified the Guardian for Minor Children (if applicable).
If everything is correct, on the signature page, enter today’s date and sign your name on the line indicated by “Testator.” It is important to say to your witnesses that this is your Last Will & Testament and that you are voluntarily signing it of sound mind.
Next, have two (2) witnesses sign and print their names where indicated in your presence, in the presence of one another and the Notary Public.
2. Advance Directive for Health Care. As stated above, in Tennessee, the Advance Directive for Health Care combines your Living Will, Health Care Power of Attorney, and the HIPAA Release.
You have properly identified your Advocate and Alternate Advocate. Their names are spelled correctly, and their contact information is correct.
You have properly identified when you want the powers to commence.
You have correctly answered all Instructions for Health Care, Comfort and Pain and Organ Donation as well as any additional instructions.
If everything is correct, you and two (2) witnesses may sign the document in the space provided in the presence of the Notary Public.
3. Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Decisions
You have properly identified your Agent and Alternate Agent. Their names are spelled correctly, and their contact information is correct.
If everything is correct, you and two (2) witnesses may sign the document in the space provided in the presence of the Notary Public.
If any of your documents need to be amended, you have 90 days from the time you created your documents to change them for free. You can access your completed (but not signed) documents at any time by logging into your account at www.withsteward.com.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please consult an attorney.
You’re going to need to put some thought into who you want taking care of you, if you have children, who you want taking care of them, what you want to do with all of your things, and all of those individuals’ contact information (address, phone number, and email address). To help you get started, we’ve put together a Will Prep Guide. This will help you get everything you need together to get started.
The package includes:Last Will & Testament. This includes a guardianship designation and a testamentary trust for children.Advance Directive. This includes the Health Care Power of Attorney, Living Will, and HIPAA release.Durable Financial Power of Attorney.Personal Property Memorandum. Once you have completed and downloaded your package, at the end of your printout, we provide a place to list items that aren’t bank accounts for beneficiaries (like watches, cars, etc.). That way, if you decide you no longer want to leave that watch to that person, you can change it without redoing and re-notarizing your Will!
We've made this process incredibly easy.
First - You'll create an account and purchase the appropriate package, either an Individual Will package or a Married Will package. After purchasing, make sure to activate your account with the link that will be sent to your email!
Second - You'll go through our step-by-step online process to answer a series of questions that will populate your final estate planning documents.
Third - You'll download your completed documents, print them out, and take them to a notary with two witnesses to make them official.
Fourth - Store your documents somewhere safe, and make sure your representatives and agents know where to find them.
NOTE - Complete instructions, including signing instructions, are included with your final downloaded and printed documents.
If you die without a Will, your state already has a plan for you and all your assets. It means you’ve died “intestate”. Then, the intestacy laws of your state will determine what happens with your property.The states only recognize blood relatives and marriage. That means whether you’re single with no kids, single with kids, married with no kids, or married with kids, the laws are going to distribute through blood. Unmarried couples and domestic partners have the biggest risk. Some states recognize domestic partnerships, but many don’t. So it’s important to check your state’s laws or consult with an attorney.
If you die without a Will, the children will obviously go first to your spouse, or their other parent. However, if you and your spouse (or the kids' other parent) die together, the state will have a plan for your children, but is that what you want to happen? Are those the family members you want your children raised by? Do you even want your family raising your children, or close friends?
