Online notarization
Signed and notarized online — before you even finish.
Most tools stop at generating documents. Inhira completes the whole thing in one online session — verify your identity, meet a commissioned notary by video, sign, and have your documents notarized, where your state allows.
The session
How online notarization works.
Three steps, all online, in one guided session — where your state allows it.
Verify your identity
Before anything is signed, you complete a guided identity check — the same step a notary does in person, handled securely online.
Join a live video session
Connect by video with a commissioned notary who confirms who you are and walks through your documents with you in real time.
Sign, notarized & sealed
You sign on screen, the notary applies their notarization, and your finished documents are stored in your encrypted vault.
From first answer to notarized.

Guided questions in plain English — your people, your property, your wishes. No legal jargon.

Same sessionThe Inhira difference
Why most platforms stop at documents.
Generating paperwork is the easy part. Getting it signed and notarized is where most tools leave you on your own.
Most platforms stop at the forms
Many online tools hand you a stack of documents to print — then leave the rest to you: finding witnesses, locating a notary, and booking an appointment.
Inhira finishes the job online
Where your state allows it, you sign and notarize in the same guided session — no printer, no scheduling, no separate trip to get a stamp.
One session, start to notarized
From your first answer to a notarized, sealed document, it's one continuous flow — so your plan is actually finished, not just drafted.

If online isn't available where you are
If your state doesn't allow online notarization, we show you your options and the exact in-person witnessing and notarization steps to follow.
Always per your state's law
Your documents are drafted to your state's signing rules using attorney-reviewed templates, so what you sign is built for where you live.
The honest answer
Is online notarization 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
Talk to an attorney first if…
- You own a business, or have a blended family with competing interests
- A beneficiary has special needs and relies on government benefits
- 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
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, a special needs beneficiary who relies on government benefits, 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.
