Why it matters

Without a plan, Illinois law and a judge decide for you.

A plan answers the questions your family will face on the worst day of their lives, so they don't have to guess or go to court.

Who makes decisions if you can't

Powers of attorney name the person who talks to your doctors and pays your bills. Without them, your family may need a court guardianship.

Who raises your children

Your will names a guardian for minor children. Without one, a court picks.

Where your house goes

A transfer-on-death instrument or a trust moves your home to your family without probate court.

Who gets what

Your wishes, in writing, signed the way Illinois requires. Not the default inheritance rules.

What makes this different

Paperwork sites stop at the PDF. We finish the job.

Most online services hand you a document and leave you to find witnesses, a notary, and a trip to the recorder's office. That last mile is where plans fail. We handle it.

How it works

Done from home, in four steps.

  1. Answer questions online

    About your family, the people you trust, and what you own.

  2. An attorney reviews

    A licensed Illinois attorney checks every document against your answers.

  3. Sign on one video call

    You, two witnesses, and our notary. Couples sign together.

  4. We record and deliver

    Deeds are e-recorded and your finished plan is delivered.

Will or trust?

Two ways to protect your family. Here's what each does best.

The full will-based plan and the trust plan both include powers of attorney and an advance directive. The difference is how your property reaches your family.

Will-based plan

Simple, clear, and easy to update

  • Says who gets what and who's in charge
  • Names a guardian for minor children
  • Paired with a transfer-on-death instrument, your home skips probate
  • Easy to change as life changes
  • Best fit: one home in Illinois and adult beneficiaries

Trust plan

Keeps everything out of court

  • Property in the trust passes without probate
  • Stays private; nothing is filed in public court records
  • Lets you set ages or stages for younger beneficiaries
  • Covers property in more than one state
  • A successor trustee steps in smoothly if you become incapacitated

Still torn? A $95 online consultation gets you an attorney's recommendation for your family.
