In the not-too-distant past, the only way to make a Will was to through a lawyer. In short, the process involved your lawyer asking you a series of questions, followed by a period in which you wouldn’t hear from them while they were working on preparing your will. Eventually, they would reach out to schedule a meeting for you to sign your will.
Inevitably this meant a process that would take weeks, involving several in-person appointments and a large bill at the end. The problem is that for 99% of ordinary people, their circumstances simply don’t warrant the need for a lawyer to do their wills.
Other than for that small percentage of clients who are very high net worth or have complicated circumstances requiring some real legal muscle flexing, doing wills and estates work is “easy money” for a lawyer. They have a template which their assistant or paralegal plugs your information into, and that’s pretty much it in most cases. Money well spent for the ordinary person just looking to get their will done?
Enter Succession Wills. Succession’s founder is a lawyer with well over a decade’s experience preparing wills and helping with people’s estate planning. He realized that for most clients who are just regular people, the process of making their wills was pretty straightforward. When the pandemic hit and that process moved from in-person to mostly online via email and Zoom, it was logical to take that one step further and automate the process.
Succession Wills takes those years of experience of talking with real people about their estate planning needs and turns it into an easy to use, quick and effective process that allows anyone with a mobile phone or computer to create their own last will & testament, power of attorney or living will/advanced directive.
