For parents of minor children
Nomination of Guardian Tool
Name a guardian for your kids in 5 minutes.
Answer a short form and get a New York Standby Guardian document emailed to you instantly. Print it and sign before two witnesses.
A first step, not the whole plan. In New York this nomination is valid for 60 days after it takes effect, and a court must still formally appoint a guardian. It does not control how assets pass to your children.

Put your wishes in writing
Living Will Generator Tool
Put your medical wishes in writing.
Plain-language questions, every one optional, with your progress saved on your device. At the end, download an editable Word document — or send it straight to the office.
States your wishes — doesn't appoint anyone. A living will says what care you want. It does not name someone to make decisions for you; that's a Health Care Proxy, a separate document we can help you with.

Then let's finish it together
You started it. We can help you complete it.
The tools above are real first steps — but they aren't a finished plan. A complete plan, where a will or trust, a health care proxy, and a power of attorney all work together, is where we come in. No clock running, no jargon — just a plan made for your life.
These tools are free self-help resources for New York residents. They are not legal advice, and using them does not create an attorney-client relationship with Jessica Wilson Law Office. For guidance on your specific situation, talk with a lawyer. Read the full disclaimer & disclosure.
