Looking for a Trust & Will alternative?
Both draft the core estate documents. Trust & Will charges $199–$499 one-time for attorney-built templates; HearthVault's AI-guided interviews produce a simple will, revocable trust and both powers of attorney inside a Plus plan, then track signing, witnesses and notarization — and keep everything else (accounts, policies, passwords, wishes, funeral costs) in the same vault for the people who will need it. Families with complex estates should still use an attorney; HearthVault's attorney-review step and Library links (including to Trust & Will) are built for that.

Where HearthVault goes further
- The vault is a $49/yr membership add-on, secondary to document creation
- Uploaded documents are stored, not read — no filing of receipts, policies or tax forms, no reminders
- No bank linking, beneficiary checker, bereavement pack, memorial or sealed letters
- Documents still need signing and notarization after purchase — Trust & Will does not track whether that happened
- One-time pricing means nothing nudges you to update the plan after a birth, move or divorce
What Trust & Will does well

- · Optional attorney support (+$299) and free attorney matching for complex estates (special needs, $15M+, businesses with 3+ employees, blended families)
