Willing
The best way to make your legal will.
Willing is an online platform that lets people create legal wills by answering simple questions. It instantly generates all the legal documents needed to name guardians and transfer assets, without requiring a lawyer. We focus on making wills accessible and straightforward for everyday people.
We live and work in Miami, FL, and will base the company there after YC as well.
We chose Miami because it's home for us, and it gives us direct access to a community that needs a simple way to handle estate planning. Staying local allows us to build efficiently with close collaboration.
