How it works
An Attorney Already Drafted It. Complete. Understand. Sign.
You answer questions. Nobody asks you to write a legal document. The drafting is already done, by attorneys, for your state. What is left is the part only you can do: say who, say what, and sign it.
Choose your document
Search by what is happening or by name. Hundreds of personal and small business documents, from wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to leases, demand letters, and court filings, each drafted for your state.
Answer simple questions
A short guided flow in plain language: about you, your family, your goals. Every provision is explained as you go, so nothing is signed unread and no choice is made blind.
Download. Review. Sign.
Review on your own timeline. Sign when you are ready, with witnesses or a notary where your state requires them. Come back and update it the next time life changes.
What you actually see
A question from the will, and the explanation beneath it. Attorneys drafted the document; the questions and the explanations are theirs too.
"Who should serve as guardian for your minor children if neither parent is able to?"
A guardian is the person a court appoints to raise your children. If you do not name one, the court decides without knowing what you wanted. You can name a first choice and an alternate.

Life story 1
Simple Will
The most basic protection, and most adults still don't have one.
Tom, 38. Software engineer, husband, father of three.
Tom and Maria have three kids: Ellie (7), Noah (5), and Lucas (2). On a Tuesday morning, Tom is killed in a head-on collision on his way to work. He always meant to make a will. He never got around to it.
Under Tom's state intestacy laws, a portion of his estate goes directly to his minor children, not to Maria. Because the kids are minors, the court won't release their shares to them. A court-supervised guardianship of the estate has to be opened for each child. Maria is required to post a bond, file annual accountings, and ask the court for permission before spending any of the children's money, even on tuition or braces.
Maria spends her first year of widowhood in court instead of with her kids.
Without this document
Probate court runs the family budget.
No named executor. State intestacy splits the estate. Minors' shares are held in court-supervised guardianship. Maria pays for legal filings, bonds, and annual accountings out of grief and out of pocket.
With LegalFix
Maria inherits cleanly. Kids are protected.
Tom's Simple Will names Maria as executor and primary beneficiary, names a guardian for the kids if both parents die, and directs assets in a way the family actually wants, not the way the state defaults decides.
Document availability varies by state. The names and events in these stories are fictional and do not refer to actual LegalFix members.
