The honest answer
Is an online will service 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

FAQ
Common questions
Is this a real will, or just a template I fill in?
It is a real Ohio will, drafted by software whose outputs are built from attorney-reviewed templates. You answer questions; we produce the document.
Do I need witnesses?
Ohio requires 2 witnesses at signing, and allows a self-proving affidavit so probate is faster. We give you a checklist that covers who can — and cannot — be one.
Can I sign this online?
Yes — Ohio permits remote online notarization (RON), and your plan includes a notarization session, so you can finish from home.
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.
What happens if I die without a will?
Your state's intestacy laws take over. That's the legal term for the default rulebook that decides who inherits when there's no will. It varies by state, it can't account for your family's actual situation, and verbal promises carry no weight in it. Your estate also goes through probate, the court supervised process of distributing your assets, which can take months and pull money from what your family inherits. A will replaces the state's plan with yours.
Who would take care of my kids if something happened to me?
Name them in a will. Guardianship for minor children can only be formally nominated there, which is why even people with trusts still need one. Name a backup too, in case your first choice can't serve. For a lot of parents, this single question is the reason the plan finally gets done, and it's a better reason than most.
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.
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.
