What exactly do I receive?
The Complete Estate Plan comes as three PDFs:
- Your revocable living trust.
- 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.

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:
- Your last will and testament (with a self-proving affidavit in most states). Married couples each receive their own will.

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.
