BEST PRACTICE

Itsmylife attaches much importance to the issue of legal accuracy. Everything in itsmylife.com has been thoroughly checked by a licensed Attorney with long experience of Wills, Trusts and estate planning. To ensure that itsmylife.com information remains up to date, these checks continue on an ongoing basis.

What we provide
For $19.95, itsmylife.com gives you:

Your Last Will & Testament that you can use to provide for your partner, children, friends, pets and favorite charities.
Your Living Will, to ensure you get the treatment you want.
Your Health Power of Attorney, to give you representation in discussions about your medical treatment.
Your Financial Power of Attorney, to handle your finances when you can't.
Your Final Wishes Funeral Plan, to give the people you love answers to decisions they’ll be forced to make in very unhappy circumstances.
Your A Bit About Me Memory Record, to leave some memories of the real you – and maybe even a smile or two.
Your Private Letters, to write words of help, advice and direction to be opened only if you die or become permanently unconscious.
12 months to update, revise and re-do all of the above documents – any time you want.
Jargon Buster, with explanations of over 70 technical terms.

What we don’t provide
This price does not include legal advice. itsmylife.com is not a substitute for an attorney. If you feel you need legal advice about making your Will, we urge you to go to a lawyer in your state as soon as possible. The American Bar Association website offers a Lawyer Locator service.

Best Practice Guidelines
As a matter of company policy, itsmylife LLC adheres strictly to the Best Practice Guidelines for Legal Information Web Site Providers, published by the American Bar Association in February 2003.

1. Contact Information
Sites should provide full and accurate information about the people responsible for the site, including name, mailing address, email address and qualifications.

Itsmylife.com provides a link to Contact information from every screen on the site.

2. Dating Material
Sites should provide information on when substantive content was last reviewed.

Itsmylife.com provides this on every screen. See the date at the foot of each screen.

3. Jurisdiction
Where legal content is state-specific, sites should identify the jurisdiction in which that information applies.

Itsmylife.com has created information that is only State-specific (and clearly so) when it comes to community property listed in your Last Will.

4. Limits of Legal Information
Sites that only provide legal information should give users conspicuous notice that legal information doesn’t constitute legal advice.

This notice appears at the foot of every screen in the site.

5. Links
Sites should provide links to other sites to help users with legal problems.

To give users access to information about attorneys in their own State, itsmylife.com offers a screen on Legal Advice with links that enable users to search for a local lawyer via the American Bar Association's Lawyer Locator. This also enables users to access each State’s legal disciplinary agency, to ensure that the lawyer they’ve chosen doesn’t have a poor disciplinary record.

6. Legal Citations
When appropriate, sites should provide links to relevant case law and legislation for users who are researching solutions to legal matters.

As it’s inappropriate to do so, itsmylife.com does not provide these links. We are not in the business of providing sources for legal research.

7. Referrals
Where appropriate, sites should provide information on how and where to obtain legal advice and further information.

To give users access to information about attorneys in their own State, itsmylife.com offers a screen on Legal Advice with links that enable users to search for a local lawyer via the American Bar Association’s Lawyer Locator. This also enables users to access each State’s legal disciplinary agency, to ensure that the lawyer they’ve chosen doesn’t have a poor disciplinary record.

8. Permissions
If content is sourced from other providers, sites must have permission to use that content – and it must be clear who wrote what.

Itsmylife LLC owns the copyright for all original information generated by this site. It also undertakes to obtain permission before reproducing anything owned by another publisher.

9. Terms and Conditions
Sites should clearly and conspicuously show where users can find out about the Terms and Conditions.

Itsmylife.com provides a link to its Terms & Conditions from every screen in the site.

10. Privacy Statement
Sites should clearly and conspicuously show where users can find out about their privacy policies and their policies on security of communications.

Itsmylife.com provides a link to its Privacy Statement from every screen in the site. In addition, where the communication is secured by 128-bit SSL security, a padlock appears at the foot of the browser.
