Last Will & Testament

Your will. Written properly, for your state.

A real last will and testament — covering who inherits, who’s in charge, and who cares for the people and animals you love. Myend walks you through it question by question and prepares the document tailored to the laws of your US state.

State: CA
Myend
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF ELEANOR M. RAO
State of California
Article I — Declarations

I, Eleanor M. Rao, a resident of the State of California, being of sound mind and memory and not acting under duress or undue influence, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills…

Why it matters

If you don’t write it down, the state does.

Without a will, the law of your state — not you — decides who gets what. A will lets you name exactly who inherits your things, who settles your affairs, and who raises your children if they’re still young. It’s the one document that speaks for you when you can’t.

Without a will

State “intestacy” law distributes everything by a fixed formula.

With a will

You choose the people, the shares, and the guardians.

Either way, probate

The court process of settling an estate runs months, not days — a clear will makes it far smoother for the people you leave behind.

Answer the questions

Answer the questions. Your will writes itself.

You answer in plain language. Myend turns it into a properly structured will, written to your state’s requirements — assembling article by article as you go.

All 51 US jurisdictions

Written for your state — not a generic template.

Every US state has its own rules about what makes a will valid — how many witnesses, whether a notary is needed, what wording the court expects. Myend applies the right template for your state and tells you exactly what your state requires to sign it.

What California requiresExample

Illustrative example. Myend applies your state’s current rules inside the app.

Every decision, in one document

Everything a will should cover.

Who inherits

Specific gifts to specific people, plus how the rest of your estate is divided.

Your executor

The person who carries out your wishes, with an alternate as backup.

Guardians for your children

Who raises your minor children, and a backup guardian.

Trusts for minors

A child's inheritance held and released as they grow up.

Your pets

A named guardian and a care fund so they're looked after.

Charitable gifts

Leave a portion to the causes you care about.

Your digital life

Pair it with your E-Will so online accounts aren't forgotten.

The part that makes it legal

A will is only real once it’s signed. Here’s exactly how.

Myend prepares the document; you and your witnesses make it legal. We tell you precisely what your state requires so there’s no guesswork.

Myend does not e-sign your will — an electronic signature isn’t valid for wills. The real, signed paper document is what counts.

Honest about it

Myend is a planning tool, not a law firm.

Myend helps you organize your wishes and prepare a will written to your state’s general requirements. It isn’t legal advice, and for a large or complex estate we recommend having a licensed estate attorney review it.

Not legal advice
Using Myend doesn't create an attorney-client relationship.
Complex estates
For blended families, a business, or property in several states, have a licensed estate attorney review your will.
Signing is yours
Proper signing, witnessing and notarization are your responsibility — and Myend guides you through each one.

Two different documents

Your legal will, and your digital will — they work together.

Most people want both: the legal will for the courts, the E-Will for everything that lives online.

Last Will & Testament

The legal document for your physical estate: property, money, guardianship. Valid in your US state once properly signed. Part of the Complete plan.

The E-Will

A digital record of your online life: accounts, passwords, messages, and who should receive what. Not a legal document — the human, digital side a legal will can't cover. Included with the Starter plan.

You’re not on your own

Stuck on a term? Just ask.

“What does an executor actually do?” “Can I name a guardian and a separate person to manage the money?” Justine, Myend’s planning assistant, answers questions like these in plain English as you build your will — so you’re never guessing what a word means. Justine comes with a generous allowance on every plan.

JustinePlanning assistant
What does an executor actually do?
Your executor is the person who carries out your will — gathering your assets, paying any debts, and passing what’s left to the people you named. You can also name an alternate in case your first choice can’t serve. Set your executor in Article VII

Part of the Complete plan

One price. Yours to keep. $99 one-time.

The Last Will & Testament is part of Myend’s Complete plan. After the first year, an optional $25/year keeps your will up to date and your proof-of-life monitoring active. Stop renewing whenever you like: everything you’ve made stays yours — viewable and exportable — forever.

Questions

Good questions to have answered.

Is this a legally valid will?
Yes — once you sign it correctly. Myend prepares a will written to your US state’s general requirements; it becomes legally binding when you sign it with the witnesses (and, where required, the notary) your state calls for.
Which states does it cover?
All 51 US jurisdictions — every state plus Washington, D.C. Myend applies the correct template and signing rules for the state you choose. (Other countries are on the way.)
Do I need witnesses or a notary?
Most states require two witnesses who don’t inherit under the will; some also want a notary. Myend tells you exactly what your state requires and includes the signing instructions with your document.
Can I update my will later?
Yes. Life changes — marriage, a new child, a move to another state, a big change in assets — are good reasons to revisit it. You can update and regenerate your will, then sign the new version.
What about my online accounts and passwords?
Those belong in your E-Will, the digital-legacy record that pairs with your legal will. Together they cover both your physical estate and your digital life.
I already have a will. Can I still use Myend?
Yes. Myend can note where your existing will is kept and who your attorney is, and a new Myend will can revoke earlier ones when you sign it.
Is my information private?
Your plan is encrypted and only shared with the people you choose, when you choose. Myend never sells your data or uses it to train AI.
