Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 (Excellent)

Willing provides consumers a fast and simple alternative to creating a last will & testament by offering legal document preparation services online. Clients are able to determine what should happen with their estate, property, medical care, remains, and the guardianship of their children. They may also prepare living wills, living trusts, and home transfer deeds. Unfortunately, Willing's website lacks sufficient information on the cost of these services and what they include. Consumers are encouraged to do their due diligence before purchasing these products and find out exactly what they will receive.

Willing Service

Pricing - 4.3 / 5

Willing offers an attractive and easy-to-use platform to create estate planning documents. It's leading product and the one easiest to create is the last will, yet the company also offers living wills, revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, and home transfer deeds. It appears these additional documents are only accessible once the customer pays $69 for a will, and unfortunately, the details of these other documents are not clearly provided on the website. Also, the company insinuates that customers can electronically sign the documents and make them legally binding. However, all states require physical signatures of last will and testaments, so customers would likely be required to print out the document and sign it in front of witnesses or a notary. The company also claims a state-of-the-art technology reviews the documents and makes sure "everything gets done right," but it's unclear what this means.

Terms of Service
Willing is not a law firm and does not provide any legal advice. The company offers self-help, “fill in the blank” forms. These services are not substitutes for the advice of an attorney and customers are advised to consult a licensed attorney in their area for serious legal matters. Willing also states the law changes rapidly and is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, meaning it may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The company does not review the document materials or any information input by the customer for accuracy or legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice or apply the law to the facts of the customer's particular situation.

Data Privacy
Willing states it takes reasonable steps to maintain the safety of consumer information. For example, sensitive personal information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, and access to customer account information requires a username and password. The company's service is built on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon maintains ISO 27001 and SAS70 Type II certification for the AWS infrastructure, and has years of experience managing and securing large-scale data centers.
