Peace of mind

The thought of creating a Will has always been a daunting. My husband and I should have made a Will many, many years ago.
Thanks to Willful we finally have peace of mind that all of our wishes will be met. Willful is set up seamlessly to provide a comfortable experience in your own home. We plan to recommend Willful to everyone we know who are still in need of a Will. (via Google reviews)

Debra
Easy

At our stage in life, as new parents, we have been needing to write our wills and this tool allowed us to do just that, effortlessly, and from the comforts of our own home. We also love that we can amend our Wills at anytime, for free! A no-brainer purchase for us.

Emergency room doc

Having a living will could be one of the most important documents you ever create, with Willful it’s never been easier to create one.

Dr. Dean V
So simple

We were floored with the process. Simple, efficient, just amazing, thanks you Willful for existing

Kelly and Chick
Home run

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.
