Question 1

Can't I just get a will for free online? Why pay for HeirLight?

Accepted Answer

You can. But there's a reason most people don't. Free forms offer zero guidance, commonly leading to errors and high abandonment rates. HeirLight is a guided, state-compliant system that proactively checks for conflicts, ensures you finish, and gives you the certainty that your will stays legally sound throughout all of your life events.

Question 2

What about Trusts? Aren't they better than Wills?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for some people. But most Americans don't need one (yet). We'll help you figure that out. If you do need a Trust, we'll point you in the right direction.

Question 3

Do I really need a will if I don't have much?

Accepted Answer

Maybe, but probably yes. Even with modest assets, a will lets you name guardians for kids, avoid family conflict, and make your wishes clear. Without one, state laws decide everything. At HeirLight, we believe clarity helps you live a fuller life, and sometimes all it takes is a quick check-in to see where you stand.

Question 4

Is a will created with HeirLight legally valid?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HeirLight helps you create a legally binding will. When you export a will, we will provide you with instructions that follow your state's requirements.

Question 5

How long does it take to complete my will with HeirLight?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the complexity, you can finish in under 30 minutes, guided step-by-step by our friendly AI assistant.

Question 6

Will this replace an estate planning attorney?

Accepted Answer

No. For complex estates, blended families, or large asset portfolios, we'll refer you to an attorney (coming soon). But for millions of people with simpler needs, HeirLight is a smart first step.

Question 7

Can I update my will? What if I make a mistake?

Accepted Answer

No problem! You can update your will anytime. Our guided questions are designed to catch common gaps, and we make it easy to revise as your life evolves.

Question 8

What if I have a complex estate?

Accepted Answer

If HeirLight can't complete your will, we'll refer you to a licensed attorney for free.
