No one wants to think about end-of-life planning or online wills & trusts — but that doesn’t make it less necessary. Without a legal plan in place, even the smallest decisions can turn into overwhelming burdens for the people you love.

Smiling elderly couple sitting with their adult son, promoting LegalZoom as the #1 brand for online wills.

“The truth is, protecting your family’s future isn’t just about having good intentions. It’s about taking action while you still can — and LegalZoom makes that easier than ever.”

We delay things like wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives because they feel complex… or depressing. But what’s really depressing? Leaving your loved ones in legal and emotional chaos because you didn’t take 30 minutes to set things up.

That’s why LegalZoom exists — to take the fear and friction out of something that matters more than we realize.


What LegalZoom Offers That Makes It Different

  • ? Easy Online Will + Trust Creation
    No legal jargon. Just guided, attorney-reviewed documents built around your unique needs.
  • ? Living Will + Healthcare Directives
    Decide who can speak for you if you can’t. Prevent confusion and protect your dignity.
  • ? Affordable Legal Protection
    Plans start low and scale based on what you need — no surprise billing, no upsells.
  • ? Access to Real Attorneys
    Optional support if you need help or review — but you’re in control, always.
  • ?️ 100% Online + Private
    Handle everything from home, securely and quietly.

Why This Matters for Your Family

When you’re gone or incapacitated, your family is already grieving. Don’t add confusion, paperwork, or disputes to their pain.

LegalZoom gives you tools that make sure your wishes are followed — without hiring an expensive estate attorney.

It’s protection, clarity, and love — in legal form.


? More Than Documents: Leave a Legacy in Your Own Words

While LegalZoom protects your decisions, you also need a way to preserve your voice — your stories, values, and the messages you want remembered.

That’s why we recommend pairing your legal plan with the Legacy Journal, a guided place to write the things that legal papers can’t hold.

Together, they create a complete legacy — both practical and emotional.

?️ Want to Protect More Than Just Paperwork?

Legal documents (aff) protect your assets.
But they don’t tell your story. They don’t say “I’m proud of you.” They don’t explain your values, your decisions, or the moments that mattered most.

That’s why we created the Legacy Journal — a guided place to write what legal forms never could.

It’s the most meaningful gift you can leave behind.

  • Navigating Grief in Daily Life: Work, Relationships, and Special Occasions
    Grief does not pause while you handle everyday responsibilities like work, social situations, holidays, and relationships. Understanding practical challenges of returning to work when concentration feels impossible, managing intrusive questions, surviving holidays that highlight absence, navigating changed relationships, and avoiding major decisions while judgment is impaired helps you function in daily life while honoring your grief.
  • Supporting Someone Who Is Grieving: What to Say, What to Do, and How to Help
    When someone you care about loses someone they love, you want to help but may feel helpless or unsure what to say. Understanding what grieving people actually need (presence over solutions, permission to feel everything, practical help, and hearing their person’s name), what to say and never say, and meaningful ways to show up makes you a better supporter during impossible times.
  • Understanding Grief: The Early Weeks After Loss
    The early weeks after losing someone you love feel impossible, with overwhelming emotions, physical symptoms, and mental fog that make you feel like you’re losing your mind.
