I bought a will from Willful expecting a straightforward, fully online process. The website makes it seem like you can handle everything from home, but after paying, I found out there’s a section that must be notarized (or signed with witnesses).That means you still have to go in person to a notary or arrange proper witnesses for it to be legally valid — the same step you’d take if you’d just gone to a lawyer or notary from the start. For me, that defeats the entire selling point of “doing a will online.”The document itself is fine, but in the end, Willful is really just a will drafting service, not a complete start-to-finish solution. You’re paying for a template and the convenience of filling it in online, but you still need to finish the process offline.If you’re considering Willful, understand that:It’s not a fully digital will.You’ll still need an in-person step for it to be valid.The “online” part doesn’t eliminate the hassle, just the drafting.If you’re okay with that, it might work for you. If you were hoping to be fully done without leaving home, look for a service that offers remote witnessing or go straight to a local notary/lawyer.
