Common questions

Before you begin

Is LivingTrustAmerica a law firm?
No. LivingTrustAmerica is a self-help document service. It is not a law firm and no attorney-client relationship is created. The complete terms are in the disclaimer, which you'll also confirm before checkout.
What exactly do I receive?

The Complete Estate Plan comes as three PDFs:

  1. Your revocable living trust.
  2. Your estate planning portfolio, with a trust information page, your pour-over will (with a self-proving affidavit in most states), confirmation of names and fiduciaries, trust funding instructions, general durable power of attorney, certification of trust, trustee affidavit, assignment of personal property, HIPAA authorization, your state's health care documents (health care power of attorney and living will or advance directive, under your state's own names), funeral arrangements, and personal property memorandum. Married couples receive their own personal documents for each spouse.
  3. Your Next Steps, an action guide with your step-by-step instructions for signing and funding your trust.

Each state page lists that state's documents by name.

What does the Will Package include?

The Will Package comes as three PDFs, or four for a married couple:

  1. Your last will and testament (with a self-proving affidavit in most states). Married couples each receive their own will.
  2. Your will portfolio, with confirmation of names and fiduciaries, general durable power of attorney, HIPAA authorization, your state's health care documents (under your state's own names), and funeral arrangements. Married couples receive these for each spouse.
  3. Your Next Steps, an action guide with your step-by-step signing instructions.

Each state page lists that state's documents by name.

How do I make it legally effective?

Your package includes signing instructions for your state: which documents need witnesses, which need a notary, and where each person signs. Most customers complete signing in a single visit to a notary.

How long does it take?

The questionnaire takes about 20 minutes. Your documents are assembled and delivered in minutes.

What if I spot something to fix?

Your delivery page includes a correction request: describe what needs to change and we'll process an amendment.
