If you don't put it in writing,
a Florida judge decides.
When a parent dies without instructions, state law takes over. A judge appoints guardians. A surviving spouse may receive as little as half. Hospital administrators make end-of-life decisions.
Exposed estates lose $30,000+ in probate on a $500K home.

4 Layers of Evidence a Paper Will Can't Match.
Video recording, professional witnesses, self-proving affidavit, tamper-proof seal - every template reviewed by a licensed FL estate planning attorney against 120+ statutory requirements.
All 5 Documents. One Ceremony.
All 5 documents - your Will, Living Will, Healthcare Surrogate, HIPAA Authorization, and Financial POA - are notarized, witnessed, and video-recorded in one session. Not just the will.
Self-Proving Affidavit
Your family won't have to track down witnesses years later to prove your signature is real.
Video-Recorded Signing
No one can claim you were confused or pressured - the video proves your intent.
Professional NDA Witnesses
Neutral, trained witnesses with no personal stake - not a neighbor or coworker doing you a favor.
Tamper-Proof Digital Seal
Your documents are sealed with state-authorized cryptographic technology - the same standard banks use. If anyone changes a single word, the seal breaks. Verifiable independently, even if WillAgent no longer exists.
Protections most platforms don't even know exist
We Auto-Remove the 7 POA Powers Voided by Florida RON Law.
FL §709.2202Florida law voids 7 types of financial powers when documents are notarized online. We automatically detect and remove them before you sign, so your documents follow current FL requirements.
The risk: Banks sometimes reject POAs with unenforceable provisions rather than sorting out which parts are valid.
Two Documents Required by Florida Law - Not One Generic Form.
FL §709.2113Florida requires two separate documents for a financial POA - the POA itself with the required principal notice, and a formal Agent Acceptance. We generate both.
Without this: Your agent may need to go to court just to prove they have authority - while your bills go unpaid.
Self-Proving. Built Into Every Will.
FL §732.503Under FL §732.503, courts can admit your will without calling witnesses to testify. Every will includes a self-proving affidavit with exact Florida statutory language. Without it, a court can require your witnesses to testify in person - years later. If they've moved or passed away, your family has a problem.
Without this: Your family may need to track down witnesses years later - or hire an attorney to fix it.

Your Questions, Answered.
Everything you need to know – the process, the law, the cost.
How It Works
Your will is executed the moment the RON session ends - signed, notarized, and witnessed in one video call. Most families complete the full process in under 30 minutes:
- Free Checkup – 3 minutes (identifies your needs)
- WillBoard – 5 minutes (customize every detail)
- RON session – 7 minutes (notarized + witnessed, from your couch)
Done. Executed on completion. No driving, no scheduling, no extra steps.
- Free Checkup – a short quiz that identifies which documents you need based on your situation (family, assets, state)
- WillBoard – a step-by-step editor where you customize beneficiaries, executors, guardians, healthcare wishes, and more
- Review – preview your documents before paying. Show them to your attorney if you like
- RON session – a live video call with a licensed Florida notary + 2 professional witnesses. Sign digitally, done in 7 minutes
- Download – get your notarized PDFs immediately. Stored in your Free Vault forever
Legal & Validity
Yes. Every WillAgent document is designed to comply with Florida law – not a generic template adapted from another state. Here's what that means in practice:
- Florida-specific templates – built to follow FL requirements for will execution (§732.502) and online notarization (§732.522)
- Licensed Florida notary – authorized to perform RON under state law (§117.265)
- 2 witnesses included – Florida requires both present at the same time, and we provide them
- Self-proving affidavit – an extra step (§732.503) that helps your will move through probate faster by reducing the need for witness testimony later
This is general information, not legal advice. Consult an attorney for advice specific to your situation.
No. WillAgent is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We provide self-help document preparation tools using state-specific templates that follow statutory requirements.
For advice specific to your situation, consult a licensed estate planning attorney. Many users create their documents with us and then have an attorney review them for additional peace of mind.

Your Situation
It's an uncomfortable question, but an important one. Without a will, Florida law decides everything for your family – and the results often surprise people:
- Spouse + children from this marriage – spouse gets everything
- Spouse + children from another relationship – spouse gets only 50%
- Stepchildren – inherit nothing (they're not legal heirs unless adopted)
- Unmarried partner – inherits nothing, regardless of how long you've been together
Beyond distribution: the court appoints your children's guardian, sole-owner bank accounts typically freeze during probate (6–12 months), and the process nationally averages 4–7% of the estate in legal and court fees.
A $299 will lets you decide all of this yourself – in under 30 minutes, fully executed.
Common Concerns
For most families - no. WillAgent uses attorney-reviewed templates designed specifically for Florida law. Every template goes through a 120+ point statutory compliance review.
Our platform handles the common scenarios: naming guardians, distributing assets, appointing healthcare and financial agents, and executing everything with a notary and 2 witnesses - all in one session.
For complex situations (business succession, irrevocable trusts, multi-state property, Medicaid planning), we recommend consulting an estate planning attorney. WillAgent is a technology platform, not a law firm.
You can download a template, but an unexecuted will is legally the same as no will. Here is what free templates miss:
- State-specific language: generic “one-size-fits-all” templates miss Florida homestead protections, elective share rules, and POA requirements
- Execution: you still need 2 witnesses + a notary, which free templates do not provide
- Self-proving affidavit: skipped by most free templates, which can delay probate
67% of people who start a complex online form never finish it. WillAgent handles everything in one session so you actually complete it.
A will only covers what happens after you die. It does nothing if you are alive but unable to act – after a stroke, accident, or medical emergency.
Without the other documents:
- No Healthcare POA – no one can legally make medical decisions for you. Your family must petition a Florida court for guardianship – a process that takes months and costs $3,500–$10,000+
- No Financial POA – your spouse cannot pay your mortgage, access your accounts, or manage your investments while you are incapacitated
- No Living Will – doctors default to aggressive intervention, even if that is not what you would want. Your family is left to guess
- No HIPAA Authorization – your family cannot even speak to your doctors about your condition
Nearly 1 in 4 workers becomes disabled before retirement. The Complete plan covers both scenarios – death and incapacity – in the same session, under 30 minutes.
