Answer plain questions. Five AI agents draft your will to your state's statute, attack it like a will-contest lawyer, and hand it back with exact signing instructions.
Every will reviewed by the full agent panel
Adversary
“Equally” is contestable: if a child predeceases, does their share lapse? And an outright gift to a minor forces court guardianship.
Drafter
Fixed. Per stirpes routes a lost child's share to their children, and the trust holds minors' shares until 25 — per the testator's answers.
Signing kit: two adult witnesses, everyone signs in the same sitting, blank lines stay blank until then. Your state's exact steps ship with the document.
Consensus reached
Witnessed-ready
Without a will
Intestacy law
decides who inherits — a fixed statutory family tree, not your wishes.
A judge
chooses who raises your children, without ever hearing your preference.
Nothing
is what unmarried partners and stepchildren inherit by default.
The interview
Most online wills stop at “who gets what.” The interview goes where the real disputes happen — backups, edge cases, and the signing itself.
01
Primary and backup guardians, honored by courts in almost all cases — the one thing only a will can do.
02
Percentages, fixed amounts, or specific items per beneficiary, plus a backup plan for every share (per stirpes included).
03
Primary and backup executors, granted the powers they need — including independent administration where your state offers it.
04
Grandma’s ring to your daughter — with a backup recipient and a rule for what happens if you no longer own the item.
05
Accounts and crypto named, executor authority granted under digital-asset law — and never a password in the document.
06
Choose when children receive their inheritance — 18, 21, 25, or in stages — instead of a lump sum at 18 by default.
07
Explicit disinheritance, simultaneous-death rules, survivorship periods, pets, business interests, foreign assets, pending divorce.
08
Your state’s exact witness rules, notarization guidance, and a self-proving affidavit where available — the part most DIY wills get wrong.
How it works
01
A guided conversation — family, guardians, gifts, the hard cases. No legal vocabulary required. Your progress saves as you go.
02
A drafter writes; a validator, a compliance checker, and an adversarial reviewer tear at it until it holds. Failed checks block delivery — they never pass silently.
03

Every will · Every time · Errors fail closed
Drafter
Writes your will from the interview, clause by clause, to your state’s form.
Validator
Checks every name, share, and section — rejects placeholders and missing pieces.
Compliance
Verifies witness counts, affidavit form, and state formalities.
Adversary
Attacks the draft like a will-contest lawyer and forces fixes.
Fact-check
Verifies legal claims against current sources before delivery.
Why trust this
Every state’s witness rules, affidavit forms, and quirks are encoded from the statute — Tex. Estates Code § 251.104, Fla. Stat. § 732.502, N.C.G.S. § 31-3.4 — and our guides cite their sources.
If a reviewer errors out, it counts as a rejection — never a silent pass. A will with unfilled placeholders is blocked and your payment is refunded automatically.
This is a professional draft for your review, not legal advice. Complex estate? The interview tells you so and recommends an attorney — we’d rather lose a sale than oversell a document.
Answers autosave on your device, passwords never go into the will, and personal identifiers are stripped before any research query leaves our system.
Jurisdiction engine
Two witnesses in California, age-14 witnesses in Texas, signature-at-end in Florida, holographic wills in North Carolina — the engine encodes each state's statute.
Each state page covers the exact witness and notarization rules for that state.
Forced heirship, notarial regimes, and bilingual output — encoded per country.

FAQ
Yes. Validity comes from execution, not from who drafts the document. Your will is generated to your state’s statutory requirements and ships with exact signing instructions — witness count, notarization guidance, and a self-proving affidavit where your state offers one. Follow them and the will is valid.
No US state requires a lawyer to make a will. For straightforward estates, a properly executed will is enough. For complex situations — business interests, foreign assets, a beneficiary on disability benefits, or disinheriting a spouse — we flag it during the interview and recommend attorney review.
Five independent passes: a drafter writes the will from your answers; a validator checks completeness and names; a compliance agent verifies your state’s formalities; an adversarial reviewer attacks it like a will-contest lawyer; and a fact-check verifies legal claims against current sources.
About 15–20 minutes for most people. Your answers save automatically as you go, so you can stop and pick up where you left off.
Your state’s intestacy law decides who inherits on a fixed family tree, and a judge chooses who raises your minor children. Unmarried partners and stepchildren receive nothing by default.
Yes — the interview asks for alternates at every level: backup guardians for your children, backup executors, and a backup plan for each beneficiary’s share (including per stirpes — passing it to their children).
Yes. You keep lifetime access and can create an updated will when life changes. Review it after marriage, divorce, a new child, a move to another state, or a major purchase.
The interview covers digital assets: you list accounts and name who manages them, and the will grants your executor authority under digital-asset laws (RUFADAA in US states). Passwords never go in a will — it becomes a public record in probate.
