How long does it take to create a will or trust online?

Getting Started with Estate Planning

The questionnaire may take only a short time when the person's details and choices are ready. The full process can take longer because document review, required witnesses or notarization, and any trust-funding work are separate steps.

General information

  • The website says many users complete its guided questions in about 15 minutes or less.
  • Complex families and property choices need more review time.
  • Risk: rushing signing or trust funding to meet a website estimate.

Service steps to consider

  1. Gathering details before opening the questionnaire.
  2. Saving the person's work and pause when a choice is unclear.
  3. Plan separate time for signing and any trust funding.

Quick check

  • Do I know who I want to name?
  • Do I know what I own and owe?
  • Do I need advice about my own facts?

How Complete Wills can help

Complete Wills offers guided online questionnaires for will-based and trust-based estate plans. Customer support can explain the website, account steps, package features, and how to correct details. It cannot decide which legal plan fits a particular situation or give legal advice. Customer support can explain website features and questionnaire fields, but it cannot choose documents, people, distributions, or legal terms, interpret a completed document, or explain how the law applies to a person's facts. Only a separately engaged licensed attorney may provide legal advice within the attorney's engagement.

Important limits

  • Estate-planning law is mainly state law. The correct document and signing rules can change by state.
  • A licensed attorney can provide advice about blended families, disputed relationships, special-needs planning, tax issues, foreign property, business succession, or any question that requires advice about the person's facts. This article gives general information only. A licensed attorney can explain how state law applies to a specific estate plan or document.
