Prices are in US dollars. Ours include all taxes; competitor prices are as published and may not include sales tax. Our prices are always current; competitor details were checked on September 27, 2026.

For comparison: an attorney typically charges about $300 to $1,000 or more for a simple Will, and a Power of Attorney and health care directive add a few hundred dollars more (Nolo, July 2026); an attorney can advise you on situations that an online Will on its own cannot. A do-it-yourself kit such as the Adams Last Will & Testament Kit costs $62.49 at Office Depot, and Nolo's Quick & Legal Will Book lists at $26.99 (not for use in Louisiana).

When an attorney is the better choice

If you own a business, have a family member who will need long-term financial support, are going through a separation or divorce, own significant property outside the US, or have a large or complex estate, an attorney can give you advice on your situation that an online Will on its own cannot.
