Three ways online services sell a will

One-time plans. Trust & Will sells a Will Plan for $199 (couples $299) that bundles a will, a HIPAA authorization, an advance healthcare directive and a power of attorney1. LegalZoom's will packages run from $129 for the will alone to $299; its $149 Pro package adds a healthcare directive, medical and financial powers of attorney, HIPAA authorization and 30 days of attorney consultations that renew at $25 a month2.

Subscriptions. LawDepot offers a free 7-day trial that renews at $49 a month, or a one-year subscription at $155.883. Rocket Lawyer memberships are billed yearly after a free 7-day trial: $149, $249 or $349 a year, each with unlimited documents and a different amount of attorney time4. If you only need one will, cancel before a trial renews.

Form libraries. US Legal Forms lists will forms for every state and DC5. Its Basic plan is $8 a month and Premium $15 a month when billed annually, or $39 and $59 billed monthly; Premium adds completion services for a will, power of attorney and living will6.

Will questions

Does a will need to be notarized?

Trust & Will says a will does not have to be notarized except in Louisiana, but a self-proving will does need a notary1. Self-proving speeds up probate because the witnesses do not have to testify later; see our signing rules guide.

Can a will cover a 401(k) or life insurance?

Usually not. LawDepot notes that life insurance, retirement plan assets, annuities and property held in a trust pass by beneficiary designation or ownership, not through the will3. Check the beneficiary forms on those accounts separately.

Do I need a lawyer?

Many people use a document service for a simple will. If your estate involves a business, a family member with special needs, property in several states or a likely dispute, speak to a lawyer licensed in your state. We do not refer anyone.
