Guided Pathway to make a will

CLEO’s Guided Pathways can help you prepare a simple will.

You can use the pathways to:

create a simple will, if you’re someone who has a small or modest amount of property
appoint an executor to pay your final bills, do your final tax return, and distribute the property in your estate

The pathway asks you a series of questions, gives you information to help answer them, and creates documents based on your answers.

The pathway is free to use. When you’re finished, you can save or print your documents. You will also get instructions about how to use these documents.
