Step 03
Hand it to your lawyer
WillBuddy generates Texas-compliant draft documents from your answers. Share them with an estate attorney for final review, execution, and filing. You've done the hard part.

What you'll create
Five Texas-compliant draft documents, generated from a single guided plan.
Last Will & Testament
Directs how your property and assets are distributed. Names an executor to carry out your wishes.
Guardianship Designation
Names who raises your children if something happens to you. The decision most parents lose sleep over.
Medical Power of Attorney
Appoints someone to make healthcare decisions if you can't speak for yourself.
Durable Power of Attorney
Authorizes someone to handle your finances and legal matters if you're incapacitated.
HIPAA Authorization
Allows your designated people to access your medical records when they need to make decisions.
Important decisions deserve a method that works for you.
Estate planning is emotional. You're deciding who raises your kids. What happens to everything you've built. How you want to be cared for.
Sometimes those decisions happen by talking on the couch after the kids are asleep. Sometimes they are easier one focused question at a time, with room to pause and think.
WillBuddy supports both. Talk naturally and get thoughtful follow-up questions, or type through the same plan step by step. You can switch, circle back, or change your mind without losing your work.
The best estate plan is the one you actually finish. Choose the path that helps you get there.
One price. Everything included.
Free to start. Pay only when you're ready for documents.

Common questions
Is this legal advice?
No. WillBuddy generates draft documents based on your conversation, but it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your documents should be reviewed, finalized, and executed with a licensed Texas estate planning attorney.
What states do you support?
Texas only, right now. Estate law varies significantly by state, and we built WillBuddy to be deeply accurate for Texas families first. We plan to expand to other states in the future.
How long does it take?
Plan on about 15 minutes total, whether you talk or type. Most sections take 4 minutes or less, and you can skip around, pause, or come back anytime — your session saves automatically.
Can I do this alone?
Absolutely. WillBuddy works for individuals too. The guided plan adapts based on whether you're planning solo or with a partner.
What if I need to come back later?
Sessions save automatically. Close the tab, come back tomorrow, pick up right where you left off. No work is lost.
Do I still need a lawyer?
Yes. WillBuddy creates draft documents, but a licensed attorney should review them for accuracy, ensure they meet your specific circumstances, and supervise proper execution (signing, witnessing, notarization) under Texas law.
Is my information secure?
Yes. Your conversations and documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never use your personal information to train AI models.
What if I change my mind about a decision?
You can edit any decision before generating your final documents. After the guided plan, WillBuddy shows you a full summary where you can review and adjust anything.
