Compare Your Estate Planning Options: Law Firm, Online Service, or Walk-In Wills
Walk-In Wills combines the affordability and convenience of online estate planning with the guidance of a licensed attorney. Unlike online will services, every client meets directly with an estate planning attorney, and witnesses and a notary are available at signing. Unlike many traditional firms, pricing is flat and disclosed up front.
Why Choose Between Convenience and a Real Attorney?
When you are ready to create a will, trust, or power of attorney, you generally have three estate planning options: hire a traditional law firm, use an online will service, or work with Walk-In Wills. Here is how the three compare on the things that matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Walk-In Wills different from an online will service?
With Walk-In Wills, you meet directly with a licensed estate planning attorney who reviews your situation, answers your questions, and prepares your documents.

Yes. Walk-In Wills uses flat-fee pricing, so you know the cost of your estate plan before moving forward. Flat fees do not include review of documents prepared outside the firm or ongoing legal advice.

Yes. Witnesses and a notary are available at signing, and an attorney helps ensure your documents are properly executed under Arizona or New Mexico law.

What if my estate is complicated?
Because you meet with a real attorney, complicated situations such as blended families, out-of-state property, or beneficiaries with special needs can be discussed directly. If your situation calls for planning beyond the scope of our services, we will tell you.
