YouDeparted.com is not intended as legal advice. It
is provided solely for members as a place to store
important personal information and to have that
information available after they pass away.
YouDeparted.com offers no legal expertise and
therefore can not draft legal documents such as
Wills or Trusts which dispose of property after your
death. Generally, a Will or Trust specifies how your
property is divided among your heirs such as relatives
and friends after your death. Wills and Trusts are
used to minimize taxes on your estate as well. There
are very specific and detailed guidelines which must
be followed to create such valid documents. In most
cases, expert legal advice is very helpful if not
absolutely necessary. If you die without making valid
documents such as Wills or Trusts, the state
government will disperse and tax your assets and
belongings for you according to the law, no matter
what you wrote down in YouDeparted.com.
So, please understand that YouDeparted.com merely
tries to help you keep a record and access your
belongings such as email accounts, storage lockers,
keys for your boats and cars and planes, safes, and
even your pets, magazine subscriptions, private
collections, etc. YouDeparted.com helps to provide
the information needed to locate and collect all the
"little details" which make up your life.
