Three legal documents
Last Will & Testament
$49
Names who receives your property, who handles your estate, and who should care for minor children if needed. First Light accounts for your state’s signing, witness, and self-proving rules.
Durable Power of Attorney
$29
Lets someone you trust handle financial and legal matters if you become unable to act for yourself. Built with the durability language your state requires for the document to keep working during incapacity.
Advance Healthcare Directive
$29
Documents your medical wishes and names who can speak with doctors when you cannot. First Light accounts for your state’s signing rules, witness limits, and healthcare decision-making structure.
Companion materials — included with your estate package
Your three legal documents come with six companion materials at no extra cost. They aren’t legal instruments. They’re the working tools that help your family understand, find, and use your documents when they matter.
Signing Instructions
Step-by-step guidance for executing your documents under your state’s witness, notary, and self-proving affidavit rules.
Executor’s Letter
What your executor needs to know in the first 30 days: where things are, who to call, what’s already paid, what isn’t.
Beneficiary Review Checklist
Retirement accounts and life insurance pass by beneficiary designation, not by will. This catches the assets your will doesn’t reach.
Personal Property Memorandum
A separate document for specific belongings (“the watch goes to my brother”) that you can update without rewriting your will.
Digital Asset Letter
A list of online accounts, services, and digital property your family will need to access or close, with instructions for each.
Family Instructions
The practical details your family may need first: passwords, accounts, services to cancel, people to notify.
How it works
Take the free check
A short set of questions about your family, property, and planning needs. Three minutes. No account.

A clear summary of what your family may be missing and why each gap matters under your state’s law.
Generate your documents
Choose what to create. Your three legal documents and six companion materials are produced from your answers and your state’s current statutes.
What’s behind every recommendation
Every finding First Light surfaces traces back to a specific statute, not a generic checklist. Here’s one of them.
Why First Light is different
State law matters. Estate planning rules change by state, and your documents should reflect the rules where you live.
Every finding cites the law. Recommendations are tied to specific statutes, with sources and verification dates.
The check comes first. You can see what may need attention before deciding whether to create documents.
No subscription.The package is the package. You don’t buy into an ongoing plan to access basic estate documents.
One estate planning package. $79.
Three legal documents (will, POA, healthcare directive) plus six companion materials. Bought separately, those documents are $107. The full package is $79, while comparable attorney-drafted basics often run $1,500+.
Start the free checkNo account needed to begin. You only pay if you choose to generate your documents.
Not a law firm. Have your documents reviewed by a licensed attorney before signing.
Not a replacement for every situation. The right starting point for many families.
Some families need an attorney: blended families, complex trusts, significant tax planning, business succession, contested family situations, or unusual assets.
But many families need something more direct: state-specific documents, signing instructions that match their state's rules, and a plan their family can use without a translator.
First Light is built for those families.
