A few minutes of preparation makes the process even smoother.
Before starting, know what you own: bank accounts, retirement accounts, real estate, vehicles, investments, and valuable personal property. Decide what goes to specific people vs. your general estate. Remember β retirement accounts (IRAs, 401k) and life insurance pass directly to named beneficiaries and bypass your will.
Your estate pays debts first β credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, student loans, medical bills, and taxes. What's left goes to beneficiaries. Understanding your debts helps you make realistic plans for what your heirs will actually receive.
Your executor handles distributing assets and paying debts. Pick someone trustworthy and organized β ideally in your state, since some states require out-of-state executors to post a bond. Consider the emotional toll on grieving family members. Tell your executor where to find the will and important documents.
If you have minor children, discuss guardianship with your chosen guardian before naming them. Being a guardian is a significant responsibility β make sure they're willing and prepared. Name a backup in case your first choice can't serve.
Leave at least a small gift (even $1) to every child β including adult children you don't intend to leave much. If you omit someone entirely, they could claim you "forgot" them and challenge the will in court. Making your intentions explicit, no matter how small the bequest, prevents disputes and protects your other beneficiaries.
The AI asks questions in plain English. You answer naturally. It handles the legal language, document structure, and provisions behind the scenes.
Real people on their experience creating a will with Legal Friend.
"I'd been putting off making a will for years because lawyers wanted $1,500+. This took me 20 minutes and the document looks completely professional."

"The trust section was what sold me. I needed to set up distributions for my kids at different ages. The AI walked me through every option clearly."

"My husband and I both made wills in one evening. $198 total. Our neighbor paid $3,000 for essentially the same documents from a lawyer."

"The guardian designation section really made me think carefully about who I'd want raising my kids. The AI even reminded me to talk to them first."

"I updated my will after my divorce in about 10 minutes. Just changed the beneficiaries, removed my ex as executor, downloaded the new PDF."

Most people finish in 15 to 30 minutes. Our AI assistant guides you through each question in plain language β no legal knowledge required.
Yes. The document follows standard legal formatting used by estate planning attorneys across the United States. To make it legally binding, sign it in front of two witnesses (and a notary for the self-proving affidavit). We include detailed signing instructions.
For most straightforward estates, our AI-guided process creates a complete, legally valid will without an attorney. If you have complex situations β blended families, significant business assets, tax planning, or special needs dependents β we recommend an estate planning attorney review your document.
All states except Vermont require two witnesses who are 18+ and NOT named as beneficiaries. Witnesses must watch you sign and watch each other sign. Notarization is optional but recommended β we include a self-proving affidavit in your document.
Yes. Log back in and update your will anytime. Major life events β marriage, divorce, new children, significant asset changes β are good reasons to revise. When you create a new version, destroy all copies of the old one.

Retirement accounts (IRAs, 401k), life insurance policies, and annuities pass directly to named beneficiaries on those accounts β they bypass your will. Make sure those designations are up to date separately.
Without a will (called 'dying intestate'), the state decides how your assets are distributed. This often doesn't match your wishes and leads to delays, family disputes, and higher legal costs.
70% of Americans don't have a will. It takes 20 minutes and $99 to change that.
