Estate planning isn't about how much you have. It's about protecting what matters.
"You're building something. A career, a savings account, maybe a family. You didn't build it so a court could decide what happens to it."
"You chose their school. You chose their doctor. Choose who takes care of them if you can't."
"Life changed. Your documents should too. Old beneficiaries, outdated directives. We replace them with ones that reflect who you are now."
We would rather tell you upfront than take your money and leave you with the wrong plan. If any of these describe your situation, you'll be better served by a full-service firm.
Estates over $5 million or with significant business interests need bespoke planning we don't offer.
Real estate in multiple states or significant international holdings require coordinated counsel across jurisdictions.
If you anticipate disputes among heirs or are in a contested family matter, you need an attorney advocating for you directly.
If you need a lawyer on retainer or full-service estate planning counsel, you're better off with a traditional firm.
Special needs trusts, charitable trusts, and ongoing trust administration sit outside the scope of our flat-fee plans.
Your planning specialist will tell you in your planning call, and we'll refund you in full. No questions, no hard feelings.
Every plan includes the six documents your family needs and a consultation with a licensed estate planning attorney.
Six essential documents, drafted to your state's legal requirements. The right fit for most families.
Everything in the Will Plan, plus three trust documents. Best when you own a home or have young children. Keeps assets out of probate.
No surprise fees. No add-ons. No hidden tiers. One price covers everything listed above.
If you haven’t yet had the attorney consultation and feel LawBits isn’t the right fit, we’ll refund your purchase in full, no questions asked. If your consultation has already taken place, we’ll refund the document preparation fee and retain the attorney consultation fee. We’d rather tell you that you need a different solution than leave you uncertain.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Most plans go from start to signed documents in days, not months. You'll complete a short online intake, have a planning call to confirm the right fit, your six documents are prepared, and a licensed estate planning attorney walks through them with you before signing.
LawBits is a modern way to protect your family and future. We help you create high-quality estate planning documents (wills, trusts, and powers of attorney) through a guided online experience that includes real attorney support. The simplicity of technology with the confidence of professional assistance.
LawBits is a legal technology platform, not a law firm. There are no partners to compensate, no corner offices, no hourly billing. We've built software that handles the repetitive parts of estate planning — intake, document assembly, state-specific compliance — so a licensed estate planning attorney can focus on what actually requires their judgment: reviewing your plan with you and confirming it reflects your intentions. That's how a Will Plan with attorney consultation can start at $695 instead of $3,000+.
Everyone over 18. Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy. It's about making sure your wishes are honored and your loved ones are cared for if something unexpected happens.
Currently serving New York and New Jersey, with plans to expand to all 50 states. Every document is customized for your state and reviewed for local compliance. If you're in another state, join our waitlist to be notified when we launch in your area.
A will takes effect after you pass away and goes through probate court. A trust manages and transfers your assets privately, helping your family avoid the delays and costs of probate.
Probate is the court process that settles an estate. It's often slow, public, and expensive. A trust keeps things private and efficient, saving your loved ones time, money, and stress.
A POA lets someone you trust handle your finances or legal matters if you can't. LawBits creates clear, state-specific POAs that ensure your chosen agent can act on your behalf when needed.
This document ensures your medical wishes are honored if you're unable to speak for yourself. You choose who can make healthcare decisions and express your values clearly in advance.
Check your plan every few years, or after major life changes like marriage, divorce, or a new child, to make sure it still fits your life and goals.
Without a will or trust, state law decides who inherits your property and who cares for your children. LawBits ensures those choices are made by you, not the court.
Every LawBits plan begins with a short online intake that helps us understand your goals and family situation. Our Orientation Concierge personally guides you through the next steps. Your information is used to prepare customized documents based on attorney-approved templates for your state. You'll have an attorney consultation to ensure your plan aligns with your wishes and complies with local requirements. After the consultation, your completed documents are securely delivered, ready for your review and signing with the included instructions.
Your documents are drafted using attorney-developed templates and reviewed for your state's legal requirements. A licensed estate planning attorney walks you through them during your consultation.
Will Plans start at $695 (Solo) and $895 (Married). Trust Plans start at $1,295 (Solo) and $1,495 (Married). Everything is included: your attorney consultation and every document you need. No surprise fees, no add-ons, no hidden tiers.
