What Happens If You Die Without a Will?
Dying without a will (called dying 'intestate') means your state decides who gets your assets, who raises your children, and who handles your estate. Here's what that looks like in practice.

When Should You Update Your Will?
A will you made five years ago may no longer reflect your life. Here are the life events that should trigger a review, and a few that people miss.
Common questions
Quick answers.
How long does it take to make a will?
About 20 minutes. The questionnaire walks you through your family, assets, beneficiaries, and your state's signing requirements, then generates the documents.
Are these documents legally valid?
Yes, in all 50 states and D.C. Each document follows your state's execution rules: witness count, self-proving affidavit, notary language where required. Sign with the right witnesses and notary and they're as valid as anything an attorney drafts.
Is my information private?
On the free tier, your answers never leave your device. With a $29/year subscription, your answers and documents are encrypted in your browser before they reach our servers. We designed the system so we cannot read your will.
Why $29 a year instead of one-time?
Wills go stale. Marriages, births, moves, new accounts. A will that's perfect today is out of date in two years. The subscription is for keeping the plan current, not just generating it once. Cancel anytime.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. From your account, open the Stripe billing portal and cancel. Your access stays active until the end of the period you paid for. 30-day refund on first payment, no questions.
Put the answer in writing.
Whatever you decide today, your family won’t have to guess. Start free, or save it to your account for $29 a year.
If you die without a will, the state writes one for you. It probably isn’t the one you’d write.
