How can I be sure EZwill™ is right for me?

EZwill™ aims to offer several options, all customizable, which would be suitable for most people in most situations.

However, we do not recommend using EZwill™ in any of the following situations:

  1. If you do not wish to include your spouse or any one of your children in your Will;
  2. If you believe there is a reasonable chance that your Will may be contested (i.e., that someone would object to it);
  3. If you and your spouse have significantly different wishes for each of your Wills;
  4. If you own many assets (real estate, corporations / businesses) in Israel or abroad and would require complex or delicate planning or require tax advice;
  5. If answering an online form and navigating the system on your own is too challenging for you. (NOTE: If other family members assist you in creating the Will, this may legally disqualify them from inheriting you).

In any of the above cases, we suggest you consult with an attorney  to come up with an appropriate personalized solution. You can email us at info@ezwill.co.il, or click below to schedule an introductory consultation.
