“We have been putting off doing our wills for years. We talked about it when we moved in together, then again when we got married, then again when she got pregnant, after our son was born, and every time one of us has travelled or had a medical appointment. We have talked about it at least two dozen times over the 12 years that we’ve been together.
We even went so far as reaching out to lawyers a couple of times. The first wanted $2,500. The second was a referral from a friend who offered to do it for $800. It was always too overwhelming and too expensive to pull the trigger. Then Susie showed me willful.co
Not only did we get started, but we completed our wills and power of attorney documents in about 20 minutes. Incredibly, we also only paid a fraction of what I’d been quoted previously. Their product is a no-brainer and a home run.
