Not legal advice

By using WillCheck, you agree that the site is provided for general information and personal education only.

We are not your attorney

WillCheck is not a law firm, and the people who operate it are not your lawyers. The quiz, recommendations, and explainers are general information about wills, trusts, intestacy, and probate. They are not legal advice, they are not a legal opinion, and they are not a will, trust, or other legal document. Use of this website does not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

State law differs

Estate and probate rules are set mainly by state law. This site is written for readers in every U.S. state and the District of Columbia, so it stays with general patterns unless a specific claim can be tied to a cited source. We do not invent state-specific shares, court costs, or timelines. Confirm anything that matters in your situation with a licensed attorney in your state, and with the official sources linked from our pages.

No professional relationship, and a limitation

The site is provided “as is.” To the extent permitted by law, WillCheck is not liable for decisions you make based on this information, including whether to write a will, create a trust, buy an online plan, or hire an attorney.
