Why does it matter?

Two out of three adults die without a will.

Without one, a state court — not your family — decides what happens to your assets and your children. A PaperCounsel plan gives you the documents, and the expert review, to avoid that.

Protect those who depend on you

Name guardians for children and pets so they'll have the care, education, and resources they need.

Decide who gets your assets

Property, savings, investments — make sure every dollar goes exactly where you want it, not to a court.

Stay in control of your health care

Choose a trusted medical proxy and make your final wishes known so your family never has to guess.
