what's in this legal package? |
how it works

A Living Trust allows a person or couple to put their possessions into the ownership of a tax-sheltering Trust that can be used for their benefit while they are alive. After their death, the Trust is then distributed to their heirs or beneficiaries, avoiding the tax penalties of probate court. This Legal Document Package includes both Single Trusts and Joint Trusts.

What Real Customers Say

We just made a Last Will and Testament for ourselves on 12Law.com. I thought the site was extremely easy to use. We have been putting off getting a Last Will done for years -- we can finally check that off our to-do list!

Elaine F., North Ridgeville, OH

I was skeptical of a website being able to produce a customized legal document by asking a series of questions, but you guys really have done it. The process was easy and it created everything I need without paying an attorney.

Shane E., Old Hickory, TN

I'd been putting off doing a health directive. The 12Law.com version was simple and easy to complete, and the end product was highly readable. The fill-in feature made it a breeze. I will now be doing one for my wife.
