Wills and Estate Planning Forms

Download easy-to-use Will Kits, estate planning checklists, and provisional will clauses to help you write your Last Will and Testament. You can also find forms for executors.

 

Q. Do I really need to make a will?

A. If you own property or assets, you need to make a will. If you die intestate (without a legal will in place), your loved ones may be left with no choice but to apply to the court for letters of administration. The court will then decide how your estate will be divided up among your heirs. That division will be done in accordance with the laws of succession that govern in your area, and it may not be the way you would have distributed your property if you had had any say in the matter.

If you want to be the one who makes those decisions, you must make a properly executed will before you die. Your Last Will and Testament will then dictate who the beneficiaries of your estate will be, and how much of your estate each of them will receive.

Captain James Cook Last Will and Testament

Download a free copy of the Last Will and Testament of Captain James Cook (1728-1779).

  • James Cook was an English explorer, navigator and cartographer, who was the first to map Newfoundland before embarking on several voyages to the South Pacific during which he became the first European to make contact with the eastern coast of Australia and Hawaii, and the first to land on and circumnavigate New Zealand.
  • Cook charted many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. His achievements are the result of a combination of fine seamanship, superior surveying and cartographic skills, courage in exploring dangerous locations (such as traveling Antarctic waters and face-to-face dealings with Maori warriors), an ability to lead men in adverse conditions, and a willingness to exceed the orders given him by the Admiralty.
  • Cook died in Hawaii in a fight with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779.

Charles Darwin Last Will and Testament

Download a free copy of the Last Will and Testament of Charles Darwin (1809-1882).

  • Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who determined that all species of life on Earth descended and evolved from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He published his evidence for this theory in an 1859 book called On the Origin of Species.
  • In modified form, Darwin's discovery is today the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the biodiversity found on our planet.

Charles Dickens Last Will and Testament

Enjoy reading this copy of the Last Will of the great English novelist, Charles Dickens (1812-1870).

  • Charles Dickens was responsible for creating some of English literature's most iconic characters, including Ebenezer Scrooge, Oliver Twist, Fagin, David Copperfield, and Tiny Tim. He was the most popular writer of his day and remains one of the most popular of all time.
  • Dickens' work touched upon many of the problems of Victorian London and often carried a message of social reform. Many of his novels were serialized in magazines.
  • Unlike other authors who would complete an entire novel before serializing it, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialized. He would often end the episode with a cliffhanger situation which created an air of anticipation from his public as they awaited the next instalment.
  • His work is still popular today, and his novels and short stories have never been out of print.
