More than half of American adults have no will. Not because they don’t care what happens to their kids and their home — because estate planning has always meant an intimidating office and a four-figure bill. This is the single most popular reason people join the plan.
The estate bundle — included at $49.95/month
- A standard will, prepared free by your provider law firm — reviewed and updated every year as life changes, including a testamentary children’s trust if you need one
- Durable power of attorney — prepared, or your existing one reviewed and amended, once per membership year
- Living will / physician’s directive — so your medical wishes are in writing
- A revocable living trust for a flat $250 — attorneys typically charge $1,500–$3,000 for this document
And because the membership covers your spouse or partner and eligible kids, one plan gets the whole household’s documents in order.
Handling a loved one’s estate?
The plan also includes simplified probate / summary estate administration — the provider firm prepares the required court filings from the information you provide as personal representative, and you have unlimited consultation along the way. Complex estates go further with the 25% member discount on the firm’s rate.
Common questions
Will or trust — which do I need?
That’s exactly the kind of question your unlimited consultations are for. The short version: everyone needs a will; some situations also benefit from a trust. The firm will tell you straight — and the trust is $250 either way, not $2,500.
What if my life changes?
Annual reviews, amendments, and updates to your will are part of the plan. New baby, new house, new marriage — call the firm.
What’s not included?
Highly complex estate work beyond the standard documents and simplified probate moves to the 25%-discounted hourly lane. Member and spouse limits apply to some services. Your state’s plan contract has the exact terms.
