WillNation
A real will. By a real attorney. Without a big bill.
Why use us rather than going to a law firm or downloading a do-it-yourself kit?
To start with, we’re a lot less expensive. Here’s why: We’re licensed attorneys, but we have low overhead. If you’ve ever walked into an attorney’s office, you’ve noticed the dark paneling on the walls, the soft chairs in the lobby, the knockout receptionist. You’ve been offered a drink as you wait for your attorney.
How much do you think that costs?
The answer? A lot. The lawyer who entertains you in his or her office has to pay for the paneling, the soft chairs and the receptionist, not to mention that bottled water you just drank.
That cost comes out of your pocket. The dirty secret of the probate-law world is that most attorneys have their paralegals take information straight off of intake forms and put them into will-generating software. The attorney will review the forms and send it on – along with a $2,000 bill.
On the other end of the spectrum is do-it-yourself software. Some of it is very good. Some of it isn’t. The process is simple: You purchase the software, download it and fill it in. At the end, you hit the “print” button and out comes a will. Get it notarized, sign it in front of witnesses and you’re set.
But how do you know if everything is correct in the will? They can be complicated documents and the wrong word in the wrong place can lock up your estate for years, depriving your heirs of needed funds.
One of our competitors offers a product they say will give you peace of mind: they’ll have someone “check” it for you. It’s checked for typos - not legal compliance.
If you create your will at WillNation, you’ll get all the benefits of the attorney, with none of the overhead costs. We’ll be the first to admit that we’re scrappy. But we’re smart. And you get to save money if you use us.
You’ll also get real peace of mind. When you create a will with us, a consultation with an attorney is included. And we’re not talking about attorneys from foreign countries or sham law schools. Our attorneys are American lawyers, licensed by the appropriate bar associations and who only practice in the states in which they have licenses in. We do it right so you can sleep at night.
