FAQs
Need to better understand what estate planning is all about or if it applies to you? Unsure if this tool is the right product for you?
The following can help you to sort through some of these considerations.
What is an estate plan?
An estate plan is a set of legal documents which outline how your assets will be managed if you become incapacitated (i.e., unable to manage your own assets after an illness or injury) or pass away. Most estate plans consist of a will, or a trust, plus a durable power of attorney for finances, a healthcare power of attorney, final wishes and a guardianship designation if you have minor children. Other aspects of an estate plan may also include things like making your wishes known about your funeral and adding a life insurance policy.
Why is estate planning important?
If you pass or become incapacitated without an estate plan in place, your belongings will be administered and distributed according to the laws of the state you live in. This could mean that the distribution of your assets may not align with your wishes. This may place added emotional and financial burdens on your surviving loved ones.
I don't believe I have an "estate." Why would I need an estate plan?
Some people may feel that estate planning is something that only applies to the wealthy or if there are large properties or expensive assets in involved. The reality is that everyone can benefit from having an estate plan. No matter the size of your estate, if you don’t have an estate plan, the decisions around how your assets are distributed are determined by the state in which you reside.
What if I have a complex estate, is this self-serve digital solution right for me?
If you have complex or large assets and holdings, seeking help from an estate attorney is a wise path to take in creating your estate plan. However, for Americans who have a fairly straightforward asset structure, a self-serve solution like ODT’s could typically meet their estate planning needs.
Do you have to be tech savvy to use this tool?
You don’t have to be tech savvy to use the estate planning platform. It is designed to be intuitive with a guided navigation experience that walks you through a step-by-step process. There are plenty of helpful tips and videos included along the way, as well as an email help line to answer any technical questions that come up.
