III. LEGAL DOCUMENT STORAGE

Once you prepare legal documents and forms in your U.S. Legal Forms™ Essential Legal Life Documents Package, it is highly recommended that you keep forms together. An optional USLegal Life Documents Organizer is available for purchase from www.uslegalforms.com to help store your legal documents.

Legal documents should also be kept in a very secure place such as a bank safe deposit box or personal home safe. You may wish to tell your attorney or a family member about the location of your Legal Life Documents Package in the event you are unable to communicate it to them when needed.

IV. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS

The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (".pdf" format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand.

It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter "a". Click this button and the form fields will be visible.

By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner.

What the Wyoming Life Documents Planning Package Contains

The Wyoming Life Documents Planning Package is a bundled collection of commonly used estate and incapacity documents organized for execution and long-term retention in Wyoming. Typical components include a last will and testament, durable power of attorney for finances, health care directive (advance directive), HIPAA authorization, and optional state-specific affidavits. The package clarifies decision-making authority, names agents and beneficiaries, and reduces administrative friction during incapacity or after death. It is suitable as a self-help starting set and can be reviewed or finalized by an attorney or notary for formal execution.

Why a Single, Wyoming-Focused Package Helps
