Why Texas families choose EstateDraft
Only one built for Texas
Community property (Fam. Code ch. 3), the constitutional homestead, the independent-executor clause (Est. Code s. 401.001), and the self-proving affidavit (s. 251.104) are wired into every document. LegalZoom and Trust & Will run all 50 states from one generic engine — a national template can miss the Texas rules that decide whether your plan actually works.
A nonlawyer tool, by design
EstateDraft records the answers and choices you supply and assembles documents from them. It does not select a document for you, apply the law to your situation, or review your entries for legal sufficiency. How these rules apply to your situation is a question for a licensed Texas attorney of your choosing. EstateDraft states the rules; it does not answer that question.
No subscription to buy your plan
Every plan is a one-time price. Membership ($49/yr for unlimited updates and family sharing) is an optional add-on — never required, never auto-attached at checkout.
We stand behind it
A 60-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Neither LegalZoom nor Trust & Will advertises one.
What about the free options?
A free will can be the most expensive document you ever sign if it's wrong. Free will-makers are 50-state generic, print-and-sign-yourself — and their free living trust is California-only, so a Texas family can't get a free trust anywhere. In Texas, a plan that misses homestead or the two-witness rule can fail exactly when your family needs it. That's the gap we close: every document built to the Texas rules, from your own answers.
Build a plan that's actually built for Texas.
60-day money-back guarantee. No subscription required.
Frequently asked questions
- Is EstateDraft cheaper than hiring a Texas attorney?
- A Texas estate-planning attorney typically charges $1,500–$4,000+ for a trust-based plan; our trust-based plan is $499. They are not the same service: EstateDraft assembles your documents from your own answers and states the general Texas rules with their citations. How these rules apply to your situation is a question for a licensed Texas attorney of your choosing. EstateDraft states the rules; it does not answer that question.
- Why isn't there a free plan like FreeWill?
- Free will-makers are 50-state generic, and their free living trust is California-only — a Texas family cannot get a free trust anywhere. A generic free will can also miss Texas community property and the independent-executor clause. We build every document to Texas law and back it with a 60-day money-back guarantee.
- Do I have to pay a monthly subscription?
- No. Every plan is a one-time price, and membership ($49/yr) is optional and never auto-attached. EstateDraft sells no attorney access by subscription; LegalZoom's attorney access auto-renews ($25/month or $199/year as published).
- What makes EstateDraft “Texas-specialized”?
- Every document is built to the Texas codes — community property, the constitutional homestead, independent administration, and the self-proving affidavit — not a national template adapted after the fact. LegalZoom and Trust & Will serve all 50 states from one generic engine.
