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!

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.
