Most customers complete the guided questionnaire in well under an hour, though the exact time depends on how many documents you're creating and how complex your family or property situation is. Since progress is saved, you can also spread it across multiple sessions.
General information
- Simpler situations, like a single person with few assets, generally take less time than complex family situations.
- Gathering key information beforehand, like names and account details, can speed up the process.
- Signing and witnessing steps happen after the online questionnaire and take additional time to arrange.
Service steps to consider
- Gather basic information about your family, property, and preferred decision-makers.
- Set aside a block of time to complete the guided questionnaire.
- Plan separately for the signing and witnessing steps once your documents are ready.
Quick check
- Have I gathered basic information before starting?
- Do I have time set aside to focus on the questionnaire?
How Complete Wills can help
Complete Wills' guided questionnaire is built to move efficiently without cutting corners. Because the questionnaire walks you through one clear question at a time and saves your progress automatically, most customers move through it quickly, and can always pause and return later if their situation takes more time to think through.
Important limits
- An estate plan isn't complete, or legally valid, until it's properly signed and witnessed according to your state's rules.
