FreeWill’s no-charge product is supported by nonprofit organizations. Many of our will-makers choose to leave a portion of their estate to charity, and we hope you’ll consider doing the same. FreeWill never sells your personal data to third-parties. For more details on our commitment to data security, please read our privacy and security policies.
A will is important for everyone and can be useful regardless of estate size. It’s a way to support the people and causes important to you. Having a will ensures that your wishes are known, saving your loved ones the stress and cost of intestate probate proceedings.
Yes! We have advance healthcare directives (also known as healthcare proxies or living wills), and durable financial powers of attorney as well. All are free to create.
Yes! Your circumstances and wishes may change after you’ve completed your will. If that happens, you can make a new will to replace your old one. All you have to do is sign the new will with witnesses and remember to destroy the previous one.

If you are at least 70.5 years old and have a Traditional IRA, then you’re eligible to make a tax-free donation directly from your IRA, also known as a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD). The year you turn 70.5, Traditional IRA holders must withdraw a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
You can satisfy your RMD requirements with a tax-free QCD to the United Way of Southeast Iowa.
