EstateGuidance® Will Preparation Services

Available With Our Employee Life Coverage

Whether your assets are few or many, it’s important to have a will. It’s the only way to ensure that your intentions will be honored in the event of your death. A will states your wishes about who will inherit your property, who will be the guardian of your children, and who will manage your estate. Without a will, those decisions may be left to others. EstateGuidance^® Will Preparation Services can help.

An easy and empowering solution.

As a covered employee under a Hartford Group Life insurance policy, you have access to EstateGuidance^® Will Services¹ provided by ComPsych^®. It helps you create a simple, legally binding will quickly and conveniently online, saving you the time and expense of a private legal consultation. Other advantages include:

• Online assistance from licensed attorneys should you have questions.
• The ability to save drafts for up to six months.
• During this period, you can revise your will at no cost, as long as you haven’t already printed or downloaded it.
• Additional estate planning services are also available for purchase, including the creation of living wills and trusts, guidance about divorce proceedings, and durable power of attorney.

Quick answers to key questions.

Where there’s a will, there are bound to be questions. Here are answers to four common ones.

“Isn’t will preparation complicated?” Not with EstateGuidance^®. You’ll be asked a series of questions online that are used to compose your will. In many states, you need only add your signature to make the will valid.

“What if I have questions as I’m creating my will?” The online education center provides answers regarding family law. You can also access fully licensed attorneys who’ll respond to you online.

“What about my privacy?” All information is kept secure and confidential with the latest encryption technology.²

“So, what happens if I don’t create a will?” In most states, all of your community and joint property would pass to your spouse if you have one. Separate property is passed according to a complex order of distribution. By drafting a will, you can spare your loved ones a potentially awkward and contentious situation.
