Why Americans are turning to this will service instead of expensive lawyers

By Jane Armstrong | Reviewed by Rob Rebholz

Alarming fact: 54% of Americans over the age of 55 do not have a will.

The problem: Without a will, your wishes may never be honored. Loved ones are left to face probate court, rising costs, and painful family disputes—often during one of the hardest times in life.

For decades, most people assumed only expensive lawyers could handle something this important.

But now, a breakthrough service is changing everything. Some are calling it the biggest leap in estate planning in years.

It's called BetterEstate, and it combines the peace of mind of working with experts with the simplicity and affordability of an online platform—all for under $100.

It's no wonder seniors nationwide are choosing BetterEstate to create their will.

What is BetterEstate?

BetterEstate is a company with a simple mission: to make lawyer-grade wills affordable and accessible to everyone.

Their goal is to combine human service with an online process that makes it easy for anyone to create their will from their phone.

Every will is created through a guided online chat, then reviewed by an expert before it's finalized. The result is a legally valid, professional-quality will in under 20 minutes —without the stress, jargon, or hefty fees.

With BetterEstate, making a legal will is completely effortless.

What makes BetterEstate so special?

It's the only service under $100 that combines human support with an online, chat-based experience simple enough for anyone to create their will—right from their phone.

The platform is built specifically for people over 55, with a clean, intuitive interface that's easy to use.

Unlike other will platforms that auto-generate templates, every BetterEstate will is reviewed by an expert before delivery to ensure accuracy, clarity, and legal validity.

The result? Lawyer-grade legal documents you can actually rely on.

"It's not just about making this process easy and affordable," explains Christian Graf, BetterEstate's CTO. "It's about creating a truly personalized experience—with outputs that meet our customers' exact needs."

In other words: BetterEstate is the closest you can get to working with a lawyer—without actually hiring one.
