A Will-based estate plan is the right starting point if:

✔ You want simple, affordable, essential coverage
✔ You're a young family naming guardians for the first time
✔ You don't own significant real estate or complex investments
✔ You want to get the basics locked in now and upgrade to a trust later
✔ You've been putting this off and just need to get it done

If you own a home, have a blended family, or want to avoid probate court entirely, a trust-based plan may be a better fit. Take the quiz to find out →

Yes, when they're done right.

Trust & Will's documents are designed by licensed estate planning attorneys and customized to meet the specific legal requirements of all 50 states. Each document is built to comply with the same state legal standards that govern attorney-drafted Wills, just at a fraction of the cost and time.

What makes it legally valid:

✔ Attorney-designed templates specific to your state's laws
✔ Proper witnessing and notarization instructions included
✔ Compliant with state probate court requirements
✔ Regular updates to reflect changing state regulations

Important: Unlike free downloadable templates, our platform guides you through every legal requirement and automatically customizes your documents based on your location and family situation.

Most people can finish in about 30 minutes. We've designed the process to be as simple as answering a few questions about yourself and your family.

Here's how it works:

— Answer guided questions: We ask about your family, assets, and wishes in plain English. No legal jargon.
— Your documents are created: Your answers automatically generate state-specific legal documents.
— Download or ship: Get instant digital access or request printed copies delivered to your door.

You don't need to know any legal terminology. Our platform walks you through each decision with helpful explanations like "Why are we asking this?" so you understand the implications of each choice.

Can't finish in one sitting? No problem. Save your progress and come back anytime. Many of our members complete their documents over a few sessions while discussing decisions with family.

There is no catch. Traditional attorneys charge $500–$1,500+ for a Will because you're paying for their time: consultations, drafting, revisions, office overhead. With Trust & Will, you get attorney-designed documents for $199 (individual) or $299 (couples) because technology handles the heavy lifting.

What you get for $199/$299:

✔ Last Will & Testament: Specify who inherits your assets and who raises your children
✔ Healthcare Directive: Document your end-of-life medical preferences
✔ Financial Power of Attorney: Designate someone to handle finances if you're incapacitated
✔ HIPAA Authorization: Allow healthcare access for your designated representatives
✔ Lifetime updates: Revise your documents anytime life changes
✔ Secure digital storage: Access your documents anywhere, anytime

Payment plans available: Pay in 4 interest-free installments with Klarna. Plus, we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied, get a full refund, no questions asked.

Compare that to $500–$1,500 for just the Will through a law firm (additional documents cost extra), and you can see why over 1 million Americans have chosen Trust & Will.

Legally, you don't need a lawyer. A Will doesn't need to be drafted by an attorney to be legal. What matters is that it meets your state's specific requirements for execution. Those requirements are straightforward, and our platform is built to satisfy every one of them.

What makes your Will legally binding:

You must be of sound mind. You need to understand what a Will is, what assets you have, and who you're leaving them to. This is called "testamentary capacity," and it applies whether you use a lawyer or not.

You must sign it voluntarily. Your Will must reflect your own wishes, not someone else's pressure or influence.

It must be properly witnessed. Most states require two adult witnesses who are not beneficiaries of the Will. Some states also require or recommend notarization to make the Will "self-proving," which simplifies the probate process later.

It must comply with your state's laws. Witness requirements, signature placement, notarization rules. These vary by state. Trust & Will automatically customizes your documents and provides step-by-step signing instructions specific to where you live.

What Trust & Will handles for you:

✔ State-specific document generation based on your location
✔ Clear instructions for signing, witnessing, and notarizing
✔ Self-proving affidavit included where applicable
✔ Documents designed by licensed estate planning attorneys
✔ Regular updates to reflect changes in state law

Want one-on-one guidance? A lawyer is not required, but if you want one, you can add attorney support to your plan for direct access to a licensed estate planning attorney in your state.

The state decides everything, and it probably won't match your wishes. Dying without a Will is called dying "intestate." When that happens, state law takes over. A court, not your family, determines who gets your assets, who raises your children, and who manages your affairs.

Here's what that actually looks like:

Your assets get divided by a formula. Every state has intestate succession laws that dictate who inherits and in what percentages. It typically goes to your spouse and children first, then parents, then siblings. Unmarried partners, close friends, stepchildren, or charities you care about? They get nothing unless specifically named in a Will.

A judge picks your children's guardian. If both parents die without a Will, the court appoints a guardian. It might be a family member you'd trust, or it might not. You don't get a say.

Your estate goes through probate. Without a Will, the probate process can be longer, more expensive, and more contentious. Family members may disagree, and the court has to sort it out.

In rare cases, the state keeps everything. If no eligible heirs can be found, your entire estate becomes state property. It's uncommon, but it happens.

The good news: A Will helps protect against all of this. And you can get it done in as little as 30 minutes.
