Is Your Will Up to Date? Start Your Free Will

Secure your future with Connecticut Community Foundation and FreeWill.

Did you know that only 32% of Americans have a Will? 

Many people just put it off, or assume that making a Will is expensive, complicated or something that only the rich and famous need. But making your wishes clear is worthwhile.

There’s no better time to cross this task off your list. To help make the process painless and inexpensive, we are offering FreeWill, a service that makes creating a legally valid Will simple, fast, and free.

In about 20 minutes, you can:

  • Name guardians for your children
  • Decide who inherits your assets
  • Document your wishes clearly, reducing the chance of family disputes
  • Leave a gift to a cause or causes you care about
  • Update your plan any time your life changes

FreeWill is a free online resource that can help individuals create a simple will and begin the estate planning process. Connecticut Community Foundation makes FreeWill available to our community to help more people take the important step of creating or updating a Will. Currently, many Americans do not have a will in place, and FreeWill provides a simple, accessible starting point.

We also know that estate planning needs vary from person to person, and many individuals and families will benefit from the guidance of a qualified attorney, particularly when navigating more complex financial, family, charitable, or tax considerations. When creating or updating your estate plan, we encourage you to consult with an attorney as appropriate. A complete list of Connecticut attorneys can be found through the Connecticut Bar Association at https://www.ctbar.org/public
