Fabric by Gerber Life
Fabric’s free online will maker lets you create a digital last will and testament in just five minutes, guiding you through key steps like appointing a guardian, naming beneficiaries, and specifying your final arrangements, all with a simple, easy-to-understand interface. After answering a few questions, you’ll receive a downloadable document that you can sign, have witnessed, and make legally binding with a printer, pen, and two witnesses (the platform shows you exactly how). The system is designed specifically for young families, enabling you to share the will with your spouse or guardian, attach supporting instructions, and know that your assets and children are protected without paying a fee. You control who sees the file and can return to make edits at any time. While it streamlines the process and helps you complete essential estate-planning tasks quickly, the tool also advises you to review your situation with an attorney if there are complex assets or state-specific questions.
