How long does it take to create a will online?
Most people complete their will in 15-30 minutes. Our guided questionnaire walks you through each step, making the process quick and straightforward.
Are online wills legally valid?
Yes, absolutely. Our wills are attorney-reviewed and comply with all state-specific legal requirements. They have the same legal validity as wills created by traditional law firms.
What information do I need to provide?
You'll need basic personal information, details about your assets, beneficiary information, and preferences for guardians (if you have minor children) and executors.
What's included in a will package?
Every package includes your Last Will & Testament, Power of Attorney, Healthcare Directive, HIPAA Authorization, and state-specific legal forms - all at no additional cost.
How much does it cost compared to hiring a lawyer?
Traditional attorneys typically charge $1,500-$3,000+ for estate planning documents. Our service provides the same legal protection for a fraction of the cost.
Do I need witnesses to sign my will?
Yes, most states require 2-3 witnesses for a will to be valid. We provide detailed, state-specific instructions for proper execution and witnessing of your documents.
Can I update my will later?
Yes, you can update your will anytime. Life changes, and your will should reflect those changes. We make it easy to modify your documents as needed.
What happens if I move to a different state?
Our documents are designed to be valid across all 50 states. However, if you move, we recommend reviewing your documents to ensure they comply with your new state's specific requirements.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect after death and goes through probate. A trust can take effect immediately and often avoids probate, providing more privacy and potentially faster distribution of assets.
Do I need a power of attorney?
Yes, a power of attorney is essential. It allows someone you trust to handle your financial and legal affairs if you become incapacitated. It's included in every package at no extra cost.
What if I have minor children?
You can name guardians for your minor children in your will. This ensures your children will be cared for by someone you trust if something happens to you and your spouse.
How do I choose an executor?
Choose someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling financial matters. This could be a spouse, adult child, sibling, or close friend. You can also name backup executors.
How are my assets distributed?
You specify exactly how your assets should be distributed in your will. You can leave specific items to specific people, or divide your estate by percentages among beneficiaries.
What about my debts?
Debts are typically paid from your estate before assets are distributed to beneficiaries. Your will can include instructions about debt payment priorities and asset protection.
Can I include my business in my will?
Yes, business succession planning is included in every package. You can specify how your business ownership should be transferred and managed after your death.
What if I have special needs beneficiaries?
Our questionnaire addresses special needs situations and can help structure your will to protect beneficiaries who receive government benefits or require special care.
Do you provide healthcare directives?
Yes, every package includes a comprehensive Healthcare Directive (Living Will) that outlines your medical treatment preferences if you cannot communicate your wishes.
How secure is my personal information?
We use bank-level security with 256-bit SSL encryption to protect your data. Your personal information is never shared with third parties and is stored on secure servers.
What if I need help during the process?
Our platform is designed to be user-friendly, but if you need assistance, our support team is available to help guide you through any questions about the process.
