A Real Will — Free, Forever.

Yes. You have every right to create your own will, and a will made online is legally valid as long as it's executed to your state's rules. The catch is execution. Most platforms hand you documents and leave the printing, witnessing, and notary scheduling to you, which is where things stall or go wrong. Inhira drafts your documents to your state's law from attorney-reviewed templates, and where your state allows it, walks you through signing and notarizing online in the same session. You finish with a legally valid plan, not homework.

With an attorney, a will, power of attorney and healthcare directive typically cost $950 to $2,550, and $2,450 or more with a living trust (FindLaw). With Inhira, the Will Plan is $299 and the Trust Plan $549, one-time prices with no subscription required. See pricing above. Whatever route you choose, compare it against the cost of the state's default plan, because that one isn't free either.

Yes. The Will Plan and the Trust Plan each include one notarization session, with the notary and witness fees, online where your state allows. Where it doesn't, you get step-by-step instructions to sign in person.

Update your plan free for 90 days, as many times as you like. After that, the optional Care Plan ($84–$96/yr) keeps it editable, or you can make a new plan any time.

Not necessarily. Without a will, your state's formula decides, and it can split your home between your spouse and your children or in-laws. A will is the only way to be certain, and plenty of surviving spouses have been surprised to learn they co-own the house with their in-laws or share accounts with their own children as legal co-heirs. One document removes the guesswork.

More than you'd think, and less than a full estate overhaul. A financial power of attorney names who manages your money if you're incapacitated. A healthcare directive records your medical wishes and who makes decisions if you can't. Without them, your family may need a court's permission just to act on your behalf. A basic will rounds it out so your assets, including the digital ones, go where you want. It's about 20 minutes of work for a will, and it mostly exists to protect the people who'd be scrambling otherwise.
