Frequently asked questions

Is an online estate-planning valid in New York?

Yes. A estate-planning drafted per New York statute is fully enforceable when signed with the required witnesses. LegalGEN's questionnaire captures all the elements New York law requires; your document ships with a state-specific execution checklist.

Do I need a lawyer to sign this?

No. The document is attorney-drafted. You sign it yourself in front of the number of witnesses your state requires. A notary is required for some documents (living trust, POA) but never for the will itself.

How much does it cost?

Individual documents start at $89. Bundled packages including a will, POA, and living will start at $199. There are no hidden fees.

Can I update it later?

Yes. Updates are free for the first year. After that, minor edits are \$39; a full re-generation is \$59.
