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.
