Why we don't offer automated online forms for the Estate Planning process

  • There are a number of great community resources available for estate planning documents.  Because of this, our focus is to help automate other processes through our website.

  • The Estate Planning process does not include standard forms. Because of this, it is important that the contents of the documents are complete and legally accurate. It is also important that someone with a good understanding of the law can explain what everything means after the documents are written.  This is something that is difficult to do without legal help and ensures the adult with developmental disabilities understands exactly what they are signing.

  • The estate planning process does not get the court involved.  This is another reason why we recommend having an lawyer involved in the process as they can see and help you with the documents.

  • Most lawyers charge $250 or more to create estate planning documents
  • There are generally no additional court costs in the estate planning process
