Information to Gather for Your Will & Health Care Directive
Having these ready will help us prepare your documents faster:
- Full legal names of the people you want to inherit (beneficiaries)
- Who you want as executor of your will (and a backup)
- Guardianship choices for minor children (if applicable)
- Who should make medical decisions for you if you can't (health care agent)
- A general list of major assets (home, accounts, vehicles)
- Any specific gifts you want to leave to specific people
- Your existing will or directive, if you have one
You do not need all of these to get started — bring what you have and we'll guide you through the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to make a will in California?
No. California law lets you prepare your own will. As Registered Legal Document Assistants (LDA #87), we prepare the documents at your direction — you decide what your will says, and we make sure the paperwork is complete and properly formatted for California requirements.
How much does will preparation cost compared to an attorney?
Document preparation through an LDA typically costs a fraction of law-firm rates. After your free intake, we quote a flat price before any work begins — no hourly billing and no surprises.
What is an Advance Health Care Directive?
It's the California document that names who makes medical decisions for you if you can't, and records your treatment wishes. It's one of the most important documents an adult can have, and we can prepare it together with your will.
How fast can my will be ready?
Most wills and health care directives are prepared within a few business days once we have your information. Start with the online intake — it takes about 5 minutes — and we'll follow up within one business day.
