New online platform simplifies the preparation of wills, living trusts and other estate planning documents as millions of American families remain unprepared.
GROVE CITY, OH / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2026 / EZ Will and Trust announced the launch of its automated online estate planning platform, designed to help American families prepare wills, living trusts and related legal documents through a guided process they can complete from home. The launch addresses a widespread estate planning gap as millions of Americans remain without essential documents to protect their families and outline their wishes.
According to the 2026 Estate Planning Report from Trust & Will, a survey of 5,000 U.S. adults found that 56% have no estate planning documents, despite 73% believing estate planning is important. The same study found that 48% have no instructions for their digital accounts and files after death.
The financial implications are significant. Cerulli Associates estimates that $124 trillion in U.S. wealth will transfer to heirs and charities through 2048, highlighting the importance of preparing families for future inheritance and asset distribution.
A Simpler Approach to Estate Planning
For many Americans, estate planning remains an unfinished responsibility due to complicated legal processes, uncertainty about where to begin and concerns about affordability.
EZ Will and Trust addresses these challenges through an automated platform that guides users through questions about beneficiaries, property, guardianship and personal wishes.
Using attorney-reviewed templates and state-specific instructions, the platform prepares estate planning documents that customers can review, download and print for completion.
The platform supports the preparation of wills, revocable living trusts, financial powers of attorney and advance health care directives. Users can save their progress and return to their documents at their convenience.
"People know estate planning matters, but they keep putting it off because it feels complicated or expensive," said David Miller, brand ambassador of EZ Will and Trust. "A family should be able to sit down at home, understand its options and take a meaningful first step."
Preparing Families for the Future
Estate planning involves more than deciding how physical property will be distributed. Families must also consider financial responsibilities, healthcare decisions, guardianship arrangements and important digital records.
Without proper planning, loved ones may face additional legal procedures, administrative delays and uncertainty when handling an estate.
EZ Will and Trust aims to make these preparations more accessible through a streamlined digital experience that helps individuals organize their wishes and prepare essential documents.
"The goal is to leave loved ones with clear instructions, not unanswered questions," said Giscombe. "That starts with making essential documents easier to prepare."
Customers must complete applicable signing, witnessing and notarization requirements for their documents to take effect. Individuals with complex estate planning needs may benefit from personalized guidance from a licensed attorney.
