A better way to DIY — with options from a lawyer
This DIY option was created by a California wills, trusts, and probate lawyer who has spent years drafting documents, administering trusts, and handling probate after things go wrong.
It’s designed to be comprehensive, not bare minimum. You’re guided through the questions that actually matter, and your documents are generated based on your answers — not left blank for you to figure out on your own.
The goal is simple: make it straightforward to use a lawyer-designed solution, without the confusion, intimidation, or guesswork that comes with generic DIY templates.
