Critical Legal Notice - Please Read Carefully

  • WillWise is NOT a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
  • We provide self-help document preparation software at your specific direction.
  • No attorney-client relationship is created through use of this service.
  • You are directing your own document preparation using our tools.
  • WillWise does not review, verify, or approve the documents you create.
  • You are solely responsible for ensuring your documents comply with applicable law.

1. This Is Not Legal Advice

WillWise provides legal information and document preparation services only. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, opinions, or recommendations about your specific situation.

  • Our questionnaires and templates are designed to help you organize your estate planning information
  • The documents generated are based on general legal principles and state-specific requirements
  • We cannot guarantee that documents will be legally valid or enforceable in your jurisdiction
  • For complex situations, we strongly recommend consulting with a licensed attorney

2. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Your use of WillWise does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and WillWise, its employees, or any affiliated attorneys. We do not:

  • Represent you in any legal matter
  • Provide advice on what provisions to include in your will
  • Review your specific circumstances to provide tailored recommendations
  • Appear on your behalf in any court proceeding

3. State Law Variations

Estate planning laws vary significantly from state to state. WillWise currently supports will creation for residents of California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Washington.

Important: Even within supported states, there may be local rules, recent legal changes, or specific circumstances that affect the validity of your documents. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with current laws.

4. Document Execution Requirements

Creating a will document is only the first step. For your will to be legally valid, you must properly execute it according to your state's requirements:

  • Sign the document in the presence of required witnesses
  • Ensure witnesses meet state-specific qualifications
  • In some states, complete notarization or self-proving affidavit
  • Store the original document safely

WillWise provides general guidance on these requirements, but we cannot verify that you have properly executed your documents.

5. Accuracy of Information You Provide

The documents generated by WillWise are based entirely on the information you provide. You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and complete information
  • Reviewing generated documents carefully before signing
  • Updating your documents when circumstances change
  • Understanding the implications of your choices

6. When You Should Consult an Attorney

We recommend consulting with a licensed estate planning attorney if you have:

  • A complex estate (multiple properties, business interests, significant assets)
  • Concerns about potential will contests
  • A blended family or complicated family dynamics
  • Children or beneficiaries with special needs
  • International assets or beneficiaries in other countries
  • Tax planning concerns
  • Questions about trusts, powers of attorney, or healthcare directives
  • Any uncertainty about your specific legal situation

  • Any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
