How to get started

  1. Get organized. Gather all important documents in one place. Write down a list of your valuable property, and be specific. Instead of writing "Car," list "2005 Saturn SL2, VIN #0123456789012."
  2. Set your priorities. Make a list of all the people and organizations you want to remember in your will. If you plan to make a charitable bequest, be sure to get the organization's legal name, current address, and tax-exempt ID number.
  3. Review your beneficiary designations. Review all your checkings and savings accounts, brokerage accounts, retirement plans, pension plans and any other assets for which you may have made a beneficiary designation, and make any necessary updates or changes.
  4. Choose an executor. Select a person you trust to serve as your executor. You may want to pick one or two alternates in case your first choice is unwilling or unable to serve.
  5. Hire an attorney. Ask friends and family for referrals and call for an initial consultation to find someone with whom you are comfortable. Ask about fees in advance, and tell your lawyer whom you wish to benefit and what you wish to accomplish in drafting your will.
  6. Review and update your will on a regular basis. Your will needs to be updated periodically due to births and deaths in the family, or purchase of new home or insurance.
