Without a written will,
Florida law decides who inherits.
When a parent dies without instructions, state law takes over. A judge appoints guardians. In blended families, a surviving spouse can receive only half of the intestate estate under Fla. Stat. §732.102. Health-care decisions fall to a statutory proxy list — family first, then a practitioner-selected proxy if no one is available.
A $500K Florida estate typically loses ~$30,000 to statutory probate fees alone.
Verified data shows 35% of estates encounter administrative delays or disputes. Designed to follow Florida's exact statutory format, WillAgent documents your wishes to help clarify your intent.

4 Layers of Florida Statutory Evidence. Standard on Every Plan.
Video recording, professional witnesses, QC custody mechanism, tamper-proof seal - every template reviewed by a licensed FL estate planning attorney against Florida wills statutes (§§732.502, 732.523) and POA statutes (§§709.2106, 709.2202).
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.
Why this matters
We're one of the few consumer services that took on Florida Qualified Custodian status.
It's not a marketing label - it's a statutory role under FL §732.524 with concrete custody, sealing, and court-filing obligations.
QC Self-Proving Mechanism
Under the Florida e-will framework, your family may not need to track down witnesses years later to authenticate the electronic original. The Qualified Custodian holds that original.
Video-Recorded Signing
The session recording documents what happened during signing, a contemporaneous record if questions arise later.
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
The Voided Powers Risk.
FL §709.2202Under FL §709.2202, 7 enhanced Power of Attorney capabilities are legally void if signed with remote witnesses. Generic templates often leave them in. We auto-detect and adapt your document structure so it follows current FL requirements.
Without this: Banks sometimes reject POAs with unenforceable provisions rather than sorting out which parts are valid.
The Bank Rejection Risk.
FL §709.2113Florida banks frequently scrutinize generic, out-of-state POAs. Florida law requires two separate documents - the POA with the principal notice, and a formal Agent Acceptance. Designed to follow Florida format, we generate both.
Without this: Your agent may need to go to court just to prove they have authority - while your bills go unpaid.
The Custody Gap.
FL §732.523, §732.524Generic online wills leave your family digging through your desk drawers to find the original. As a Florida Qualified Custodian, we hold the electronic original under FL §732.524 and file it with the probate court at your death - by statutory obligation, not by hope. This is the e-will self-proving path under §732.523, distinct from the §732.503 affidavit used for paper wills.
Without this: Your family may need to track down witnesses years later - or hire an attorney to fix it.
The Execution Gap.
FL-licensed attorney reviewedA downloaded PDF is not a will. Florida wills require execution: notarization plus 2 witnesses present at the same time, following FL §732.502. We close that gap inside the platform - licensed FL notary plus 2 NDA-signed witnesses, in one video session. Templates reviewed by a licensed FL estate planning attorney across two rounds. Attorney opinion letter on file.
The difference: Other services hand you a PDF. We execute the document.
When to hire an attorney instead
We're built for Florida residents with standard estate plans. If any of these apply, an estate planning attorney is a better fit:
- Estate over $13.6M (federal estate tax planning)
- Irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, dynasty trusts
- Business succession (LLCs, S-corps, partnerships)
- Real estate in 3+ states (multi-state ancillary probate)
- Medicaid asset protection planning
- Active contested-will or family-dispute situation
We'd rather lose the sale than hand you the wrong tool. WillAgent is a technology platform, not a law firm.

Grieve, Not Scramble
When a plan is in place, I can tell the family: the hard work is already done. They can spend their time grieving instead of scrambling to figure out things.

“I'm 36. I have a wife and two kids. And I started catching myself asking the same question over and over: if something happens to me tomorrow, does my family have a Plan B? Or do they get the grief plus a year of locked accounts, missing passwords, no clear authority to act, and a hundred small problems that drain weeks of energy and snowball into bigger ones?
I'm a serial tech founder. I spent months researching this market. The gap was obvious. Most Americans say estate planning is critical. Almost none of them actually do it. The real blockers are cost, complexity, and not knowing where to start.
I started with Florida because the law here gives you the strongest framework to do this online: remote notarization, electronic wills, and a Qualified Custodian statute that lets the platform carry the document, not the customer. That's how we got the whole estate plan done from your couch - without ever leaving the house.
So I built it the way I wanted it for myself: 30 minutes, $399 flat, and we don't hand you a PDF and walk away. We execute the document, hold the original as a Florida Qualified Custodian, and file it with the probate court when the time comes. That's a statutory obligation we carry under FL §732.524.”

The heaviest burdens don't come with receipts.
63%of executors say it disrupted their personal or professional life
EstateExec estimates settling an average estate takes ~570 hours of paperwork, phone calls, and court visits over roughly 16 months — while grieving. Two out of three executors say the role disrupted their personal or professional life (ClearEstate/Maru, n=1,518).
58%of survey respondents reported family disputes without proper estate planning
Without clear instructions, siblings who shared everything growing up argue over who gets what. Some never speak again.

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 15-30 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 electronic will execution (§732.521) 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
- QC self-proving mechanism (§732.523) – your electronic original is held by a Qualified Custodian, which provides the same court admissibility as a paper self-proving affidavit without requiring notary signatures on paper
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.
Communications with WillAgent are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
No. Common options for digital wills depend on company servers. Yours doesn't.
Your documents carry an independently verifiable cryptographic seal that works without us. The signed PDF, the notary's digital certificate, and the session recording can be verified by any third party using state-authorized standards - no WillAgent login required.
Under Florida statute, Qualified Custodian duties are also transferable (FL §732.524). If WillAgent Custody FL, LLC ever ceased operations, custody of your electronic original would transfer to a successor custodian under court supervision. Your will remains intact and verifiable, regardless of our corporate status.
You can also download your documents anytime from your Free Vault and store them yourself.
Cost & Value
$399 single • $699 couple (save $99). One-time payment.
Everything is included — no tiers, no add-ons:
- Last Will & Testament
- Living Will (advance directive)

- Secure PDF download + Free Vault storage for life
One-time payment. Your plan and permanent Vault access are yours for life - no required subscriptions or recurring fees.
WillAgent is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Unlike competitors who place your documents behind a paywall, your complete estate plan and Free Vault access are included for life - no recurring fees to store, view, or download what's already yours.
Need to make changes later? $200 flat update fee with new witnesses, notarization, and replacement documents included.
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 $399 estate plan lets you decide all of this yourself – in 15-30 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), please consult an estate planning attorney. WillAgent is a technology platform, not a law firm.
You can download a template, but under Florida law, an unexecuted will has no effect in probate— similar practical consequence to having no admitted 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 admissibility: paper templates skip the self-proving affidavit (§732.503) step entirely, which can delay probate. Our electronic will uses QC custody (§732.523) automatically.
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 – without documents naming an agent, providers and courts follow their own default processes; families often petition for guardianship — a process that can take 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. Your plan covers both scenarios – death and incapacity – in the same session, 15-30 minutes.
