Trust & Will - Estate Plans

A Last Will and Testament outlines who inherits your belongings and names a guardian for minor children, but it only takes effect after your death and must go through probate court. A Revocable Living Trust holds your assets in a digital "safe deposit box" while you are alive, allows you to maintain total control, and passes your assets to your loved ones immediately upon your death—completely bypassing expensive and public probate court timelines.

Through our trusted online partner, we offer legally binding, state-specific estate plans at a fraction of traditional attorney fees:

• Will-Based Estate Plans start at $299: Includes a Last Will and Testament, Financial Power of Attorney, HIPAA Authorization, and a Healthcare Directive (Living Will).
• Trust-Based Estate Plans start at $699: Includes an Individual or Joint Revocable Living Trust, a Pour-Over Will, a Schedule of Assets, a Certification of Trust, Financial POA, HIPAA Authorization, and a Healthcare Directive.

Yes. To make your online estate plan fully legal and recognized by Missouri courts, banks, and land registries, your documents must be formally finalized. A Revocable Living Trust and Powers of Attorney require acknowledgment by a notary public. A Last Will and Testament requires two independent witnesses to sign, but adding a notary public's seal makes it "self-proving," which dramatically speeds up the legal process for your family later.

Once you complete your guided, online fill-in questionnaire and download your documents, simply return to our website to Schedule a Notary. We offer two convenient options to finalize your estate plan:

1. In-Person Mobile Notary: A professional notary will travel directly to your home, office, hospital, or senior facility in the greater St Louis area.
2. Remote Online Notarization (RON): You can legally sign and notarize your estate documents digitally via a secure webcam call on your smartphone or computer from anywhere on earth.

es. Missouri law requires two independent, disinterested witnesses to be physically present when signing a Last Will and Testament. Because family members named in your estate plan cannot legally act as witnesses, Mobile Notary St Louis offers a professional witness add-on service. For an additional fee, we will bring qualified, neutral witnesses to your in-person mobile appointment or add them to your secure virtual online notary session.

No. Notaries public are state-commissioned officials, not licensed estate planning attorneys. Under Missouri law, we are strictly prohibited from giving legal advice, drafting legal language, or telling you how to distribute your assets. Our role is solely to verify your identity and witness your signatures. If you need complex legal advice or have a highly specialized estate situation, please consult a licensed attorney before scheduling your notarization.

Yes. If you choose a Will-based plan, your purchase includes one full year of complimentary updates. If you choose a Revocable Living Trust, you retain the legal right to amend, alter, or completely revoke the terms of the trust at any point during your lifetime as your assets, family dynamics, or wishes change. Note: Any structural updates or amendments to your estate documents must be signed, witnessed, and notarized again to be legally enforceable.

The online platform is designed to be fast, simple, and intuitive. A standard Will-based plan can be completed in under 20 minutes, while a comprehensive Revocable Living Trust plan takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes. You can answer the guided questions at your own pace, save your progress, and download your finalized, state-specific forms whenever you are ready.
