The process
From first question to fully protected.
Three steps. Watch any of them in the walkthrough above.
01About 20 min for a will
Answer
Your family, your home, your assets, your wishes — in plain language, no legal jargon. Your answers save as you go.
02Checked before you sign
Review
We draft your documents to your state's law using attorney-reviewed templates. Your Estate Health Report flags any gaps before you sign.
03Same session
Notarize
Where your state allows it, join a short video session with a commissioned notary, verify your ID, and sign. Done — stored in your encrypted vault.
Most platforms take days. You'll finish in one sitting.
Other tools hand you forms and leave the printing, witnessing, and notary-scheduling to you. Inhira does it in one guided session.
- Start
- Notarized, about 60 minutes
- Start
- Print at home
- Schedule a notary
- Valid days or weeks later, if you finish
Online notarization availability varies by state — we show you your options up front.
The honest answer
Is Inhira right for you?
We'd rather you find out now. Most people are a clean fit — but some situations genuinely need an attorney, and we'll always tell you when.
A good fit if…
- You want a will that names guardians, an executor, and who inherits what
- Your estate is straightforward — a home, savings, the things you own
- You want it drafted to your state's law and finished online, not over weeks
- You'd rather sign with a notary by video than book an office visit, where your state allows
Talk to an attorney first if…
- You own a business, or have a blended family with competing interests
- You own property in more than one state
- You need estate-tax planning for a large or complex estate
Inhira is not a law firm and doesn't give legal advice. When a question really needs a lawyer, we say so instead of guessing.
FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers about validity, cost, signing and your data.
Do I really need a will?
If anyone depends on you, or you own anything you care about, you need a will. It's not about wealth. A will names who raises your kids, who handles your affairs, and who receives what you leave behind. That's the whole decision: you choose, or the state does.
Can I make a will online? Is it actually legal?
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.
Do I need a lawyer to make a will?
For most straightforward situations, you don't need to hire a lawyer. Inhira's documents are drafted to your state's law using attorney-reviewed templates, with your state's signing rules built into the process. But if your estate is complex, think business ownership, a blended family with competing interests, or property in multiple states, talk to an attorney. Inhira is not a law firm and doesn't provide legal advice, so when a question needs a lawyer, we say so instead of guessing.
What documents make up a complete estate plan?
Four core documents, plus one optional addition. A last will and testament directs your assets and names your executor and guardians, and works after death. A financial power of attorney names who manages your finances if you can't, while you're alive. A healthcare directive records your medical wishes and who decides for you, while you're alive. A HIPAA authorization lets your people access your medical information, while you're alive. A revocable living trust is optional, holds assets and passes them without probate. Inhira plans include all of it in one guided sitting: answered in plain language, drafted to your state's law from attorney reviewed templates, and where your state allows, signed and notarized online before you log off.
How much does a will or trust cost?
With an attorney, a will typically runs from several hundred dollars to a few thousand, and a trust based plan more than that. With Inhira, a real will is free, forever, no credit card. Complete notarized plans and trust based plans are one time prices with no subscription. See current pricing at inhira.com/pricing. Whatever route you choose, compare it against the cost of the state's default plan, because that one isn't free either.
Do I need witnesses or a notary?
It depends on your state, and we tell you exactly what yours requires. Where it's allowed, you notarize online by video with a commissioned notary, with no appointment needed.
Is my information private?
Yes. Your information is encrypted at rest and in transit, and we never sell it.
What if I get stuck?
Real people are here to help if you get stuck. Most people never need it, but we're here when you do.
