Features
For an overview of our products and services, check out our
home page.
Below is a list of the key features we provide or are
associated with here at
ExpatLegalWills.com.
Vault for your Digital Assets
Do you have any important digital assets that need to be preserved?
You can upload documents, photos, videos, audio, or any other files to your Vault.
We keep your Vault secure until the appropriate time
You designate one or more Keyholders® who can access your Vault once you have passed away, but not before.
Funeral Plan
Why should you document your funeral wishes? First
of all, it is a thoughtful and considerate gesture for your loved ones who would
otherwise be faced with a battery of questions and options at a time when they are
least capable of dealing with them. You may have discussed in general terms
with your family whether you would rather be buried or cremated, or that you would
prefer a big party over a somber get together, but most people do not even consider
these basic questions until they reflect on their own mortality. For many
people it is also a difficult subject to discuss seriously and openly with their
friends and family. However, even if you have made your basic wishes known,
did you share your views on the overall cost of the funeral service, or who you
would like to be present, or any readings or music that you feel would be appropriate
at your service? And what guarantee do you have that your wishes will be remembered
or communicated when the time is right?
Prewritten Last Messages
If somehow you knew that you were about to suddenly pass away, are there any
messages that you wish you could communicate to your family or friends?
Do you have any important information you would like to be communicated after you
are gone? For example, you may want to tell someone how much you loved them,
or what you really thought about them. Or you might want to pass on some instructions,
send an expression of thanks to people who influenced your life, or admit to a skeleton
in your closet.
Last Will and Testament
We have removed the obstacles to writing a Will.

instantly format a document that forms the basis of a legal Will, custom-made for
your local jurisdiction. If you live in the U.S., Canada, England or Wales, this document
can then be printed and signed in front of witnesses to become a legally binding
document. There is also plenty of supplementary information to help answer
all of your questions.

tragedy which affected your mind? Who should control your finances, or your
assets? The MyPowerOfAttorney™ service here at
ExpatLegalWills.com
ensures that
your wishes in these and other unexpected circumstances are heard, understood, and
carried out to your specifications.
Living Will
Most people die in hospitals and often this is after receiving treatment administered
in an effort to prolong a person's life. Medical staff
are duty bound to use everything within the powers of modern medicine to keep a
patient alive as long as possible, and within those powers there are regulations
to be followed. Medical staff are obliged to preserve a patient's life without
necessarily considering the financial or emotional concerns of the patient and loved
ones.
Life Locker
What is Life Locker?
- Information management system
- Document management system
- Data management system
- Life organizer
- Personal information manager
- Information organizer
Store and maintain personal information that is critical to be passed on to your family,
or to the executor(s) of your Will, after you have passed away.
Let us worry about getting this information to your designated individuals when the time is right.
We all want to be better organized. But a lot of us never seem to have the time or the system to make it happen.
We'll get stressed and frustrated, looking for important details. We'll kick ourselves for wasting time.
But we'll eventually get back into the flow of our busy everyday lives – until some other vital piece of missing
information turns our lives upside down again for awhile. But life goes on, right? Well, what if life didn't go on?
What if you got hit by that proverbial bus? All of a sudden you're gone – and others in your life have to try and
piece together the crucial details in your life. It's not anything you want to think about, but it is something you should consider.
Store personal information critical to be passed on to your family and Executor.
Keep all of your important information documented in one place, so that your Executor and Keyholders®
can administer your estate easily and effectively. Anyone who has to organize, manage and safeguard
personal information will find MyLifeLocker™ invaluable.
The work of an Executor is challenging. They must gather your assets and contact the
important people in your life. It is important that your Executor can find all of your assets
including bank accounts, possessions, property, and even online accounts. You can make this task
easy by tracking this information in MyLifeLocker™. Store your important information
securely and nominate Keyholders® who can access the information at the appropriate time.
MyLifeLocker™ is the perfect solution. First, it puts everything important to you
in one central place, so that no matter what happens, all your life details are located in one spot.
Secondly, having MyLifeLocker™ gives you incredible peace-of-mind. Those hundreds of little
details swirling around can be retrieved easily – whether it's by you today or tomorrow, or by someone
close to you at some point in the future.
MyLifeLocker™ creates a safe repository of your important personal information. Enjoy peace-of-mind,
knowing that if something happens to you, your family can easily find the information they need.
Advance Directives
Advance directives give you a voice in decisions about your medical care when
you are unconscious or too ill to communicate. As long as you
are able to express your own decisions, your advance directives will not be used
and you can accept or refuse any medical treatment. But if you become seriously
ill, you may lose the ability to participate in decisions about your own treatment.
Burial
What is burial? Body burial or direct burial simply
means placing a body in the ground after death. The term now also covers storing
the whole body above-ground in a mausoleum, vault or other type of crypt. While
cremation is gaining popularity, most bodies in North America are buried. They are
generally placed in some type of receptacle placed in the ground or stored above
ground.
Cremation
What is cremation? When a body is cremated, it is
heated intensely -- 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit or higher -- in an oven-like device
called a "retort". It is reduced to several pounds of ash and some fragments of
bones, called "cremains" (cremated remains) or they may simply be referred to as
"ashes". The entire process takes from two to three hours. Larger bone fragments
within the ashes are usually pulverized before being gathered. The ashes can then
be placed in an urn or other container to be given to a relative, buried, or entombed
in a cemetery or a "columbarium", an arrangement of niches in a wall or a room where
urns can be placed as a permanent memorial. Alternatively, ashes can be scattered
on land or over water, depending on local laws and restrictions.
Death and Dying
ExpatLegalWills.com
is dedicated to providing services related to death and
dying and advance directives prior to one's death. Estate
planning while you are still healthy is a wise course of action, to ensure that
your wishes are carried out the way you would like them to be. Unfortunately,
death and taxes are an unavoidable part of life in today's society. Estate
taxes and death taxes can be handled more appropriately in advance, by minimizing
the estate tax impacts to your survivors.
Digital Signatures
What is a digital signature? A digital signature
is a convenient, time-saving, and secure way of signing electronic documents.
It is an electronic signature which can be used in all types of electronic information
transfer. The differences between digital signatures and other electronic
signatures are significant, not only in terms of process and results, but also because
those differences make a digital signature more serviceable for legal purposes.
However, some electronic signatures, though perhaps legally recognizable as signatures,
may not be as secure as digital signatures, and may lead to uncertainty and disputes.
Euthanasia
What is euthanasia? Euthanasia is the act of intentionally
causing the death of a patient, normally to relieve the patient's pain, suffering,
or loss of quality of life. To be considered euthanasia, the act must be performed
by a third party. For example, giving a patient a lethal injection would be considered
euthanasia.
Executor of a Will
If you are the executor of the Will of a member here at
ExpatLegalWills.com,
you probably have a lot of questions about your responsibilities.
Here you will find a good summary of the steps that must be followed,
as well as some additional information about your responsibilities.
Financial Estate Planning
Estate planning is a lifelong process in which you evaluate your situation
and plan for the future. It includes planning for your retirement,
for the possibility of disability, and for death. The estate planning process requires
that you consider a wide range of legal, financial, emotional, and logistical issues.
Proper estate planning will also allow you to minimize estate taxes and death taxes.
Funeral Home
There are a number of good reasons to pre-arrange your own funeral.
First of all, it is a thoughtful and considerate gesture for
your loved ones who would otherwise be faced with a battery of questions and options
at a time when they are least capable of dealing with them. You may have discussed
in general terms with your family whether you would rather be buried or cremated,
or that you would prefer a big party over a somber get together, but most people
do not even consider these basic questions until they reflect on their own mortality.
For many people it is also a difficult subject to discuss seriously and openly with
your friends and family. However, even if you have made your basic wishes
known, did you share your views on the overall cost of the funeral service, or who
you would like to be present, or any readings or music that you feel would be appropriate
at your service? And what guarantee do you have that your wishes will be remembered
or communicated when the time is right?
Obituary
You can either write the obituary yourself, or you can appoint somebody else
to write it. If it is written by somebody else, it will
usually be a tribute to how you impacted the lives of your friends and loved ones.
It will celebrate your life and mourn your passing. If it is written by yourself,
you can include an account of your life, paying tribute to those who have touched
you. You can write whatever is important to you, but there may be restrictions
on the length of the obituary based on the publication that you choose. The
obituary should be published a few days before the memorial service as it should
include details of the time and location of the service and any donations that may
be made.
Organ Donation
Many of your internal organs are still functional after you have died.
Organ donation is a process to surgically remove useful organs after
you have died, and pass these to recipients who are otherwise healthy, but need
a particular functional organ. In North America alone over 50 people receive organs
each day but there are currently tens of thousands of patients waiting to receive
functional organs. Often these people are in life threatening conditions.
Signing a Will
In order to make a Will a legal document, you should first print it and read
it thoroughly. Make sure that it accurately reflects your wishes
and that you understand everything that is contained in the document. Once you are
happy that it reflects your wishes, you must sign your Will in the presence of at
least two witnesses (three in some jurisdictions), and these witnesses must also
sign the Will, in the presence of the "testator" (yourself) and in the presence
of each other. You and the witnesses should also initial each page, so that it is
not possible to alter any pages after the Will has been signed. A witness cannot
be a beneficiary of the Will, they cannot be the spouse of a beneficiary (at the
time of signing), they cannot be a minor, and, like the "testator" (you), they must
be of sound mind.
How To Write a Will
The vast majority of people do not have a Will. Some
people feel that they do not need one because they believe that the distribution
of their estate is obvious. Others find it to be too time consuming to get
organized, find a lawyer, arrange appointments and attend meetings during their
already busy schedules. Many feel that the lawyers' fees surrounding the creation
and maintenance of a Will are too expensive. Most people do not know how to
write a will.
How To Create
a Power Of Attorney
What if you were in a coma, or otherwise incapacitated such that you were
unable to communicate? Or struck with a disease or other
tragedy which affected your mind? Who should control your finances, or your
assets? The MyPowerOfAttorney™ service here at
ExpatLegalWills.com
ensures that
your wishes in these and other unexpected circumstances are heard, understood, and
carried out to your specifications.
How To Write a Living
Will
A Living Will gives you some say in the way you will be treated before you
die, in a situation where death is otherwise inevitable.
This can be used in two ways --- to put a swift end to intolerable suffering, or
to endorse the use of experimental treatment to try and save your life if at all
possible. Most people die in hospitals and often this is after receiving treatment
administered in an effort to prolong a person's life. Medical staff are duty
bound to use everything within the powers of modern medicine to keep a patient alive
as long as possible, and within those powers there are regulations to be followed.
Medical staff are obliged to preserve a patient's life without necessarily considering
the financial or emotional concerns of the patient and loved ones.

Do not put it off any longer. The vast majority of
people do not have a Will. Some people feel that they do not need one because
they believe that the distribution of their estate is obvious. Others find
it to be too time consuming to get organized, find a lawyer, arrange appointments
and attend meetings during their already busy schedules. Many feel that the
lawyers' fees surrounding the creation and maintenance of a Will are too expensive.
Whatever your reason may be, you should know that it is extremely important that
you have an up to date Will. If you die without a Will, the courts will decide
how your estate is distributed, and this may not be in the best interests of your
loved ones. It is impossible for us to know how your estate will be distributed,
but we do know that if you have a Will, then the decisions are in your hands.
Services such as MyFuneral™,
MyLifeLocker™,
MyVault™,
and MyMessages™ do not create legal documents and
make no assumptions about your country of residence.
In the US, Canada, England and Wales, we have worked extensively to ensure that the legal
documents created by the MyWill™,
MyExpatWill™,

Pennsylvania, Prince Edward Island,
Québec,
Rhode Island, Saskatchewan, South Carolina,

Furthermore, the MyPowerOfAttorney™
service is available for all States in the United States except Louisiana,

Note that even in unsupported areas, there is value in stepping through the

attorney. It is strongly recommended that residents outside of the above
supported states/provinces/countries seek legal advice even after completing the
wizards. Local laws in these unsupported areas have not been considered in the
structure of the legal documents.
If you have any doubts about the legal standing of any documents in your
jurisdiction, feel free to seek legal counsel in your area to have your
documents reviewed.

and Power of Attorney for Health Care (U.S. & Canada only). All questions are written
in plain language, so you don't have to be a legal expert to create your own
Advance Directives. You simply answer the questions about your medical
care wishes and we automatically and instantly format a document that forms the
basis of a legal Living Will and Power of Attorney for Health Care, custom-made
for your local jurisdiction. If you live in the U.S., Canada, England or Wales, the
documents can then be printed and signed in front of witnesses to become legally
binding documents. There is also plenty of supplementary information to
help answer all of your questions.
A Living Will gives you some say in the way you will be treated before you
die, in a situation where death is otherwise inevitable.
This can be used in two ways --- to put a swift end to intolerable suffering, or
to endorse the use of experimental treatment to try and save your life if at all
possible. Most people die in hospitals and often this is after receiving treatment
administered in an effort to prolong a person's life. Medical staff are duty
bound to use everything within the powers of modern medicine to keep a patient alive
as long as possible, and within those powers there are regulations to be followed.
Medical staff are obliged to preserve a patient's life without necessarily considering
the financial or emotional concerns of the patient and loved ones.

Note that even in unsupported areas, there is value in stepping through the
wizards provided in these services in preparation for a consultation with an
attorney. It is strongly recommended that residents outside of the above
supported states/provinces/countries seek legal advice even after completing the
wizards. Local laws in these unsupported areas have not been considered in the
structure of the legal documents.
If you have any doubts about the legal standing of any documents in your
jurisdiction, feel free to seek legal counsel in your area to have your
documents reviewed.
