Problem
Many adults lack basic estate planning documents such as powers of attorney and guardian designations, often because traditional legal services require in‑person appointments, high fees, and complex legal language. This leaves families without clear instructions for financial or medical decisions when unexpected events occur.

The service presents plain‑English, step‑by‑step questionnaires designed by a licensed estate‑planning attorney, automatically generating state‑compliant Financial Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney, and Guardian Designation forms. All documents are stored securely in a personal digital vault that users can access and update as life circumstances change. The platform eliminates the need for law‑firm appointments and reduces costs, making foundational estate planning affordable and accessible for residents of Michigan, with plans to expand nationwide.
