Hey everyone, I've been looking into ways to use AI for making wills that are actually legally solid. Thought it could be good to share experiences here and see what's out there that really works and keeps things legit without needing a lawyer at every step. Anyone tried some tools or got tips?

Be careful relying fully on AI tools for wills. Some stuff like signing formalities and witnesses need to be done right or the will can get challenged.
Anyone know if AI tools can handle complex wills with trusts and multiple beneficiaries? Seems like most are basic templates.
I’m using an AI tool that updates its templates based on recent law changes. It’s a lifesaver for staying current without extra research.
Does anyone know if these AI tools keep your info private? Wouldn't want my personal and family details floating around.
I found an AI tool that even explains the legal terms in simple language, which helped me understand what I was signing way better.
Honestly, I think these AI tools are a great starting point but I always recommend getting a quick review from a lawyer to be safe. Saves money in the long run.
Some AI tools let you download a fillable PDF that you can print and sign. Makes the process way easier than starting from scratch.
Another tip: always keep multiple copies of your will, digital and physical. Some AI platforms also offer secure cloud storage for your docs.
I've tried a couple of AI-based will generators lately. Some of them are surprisingly thorough, but you gotta be careful with the state laws variations, not all tools cover that well.
Pretty sure AI can’t replace a lawyer for wills with complicated assets or trusts, but for basic wills, it’s a nice cheaper option.
I’m a bit skeptical if AI can cover all legal nuances but it’s definitely improved over the past few years. Worth trying for sure.
Has anyone tested AI will tools with the specifics of elder law? Like incapacity planning or powers of attorney?
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if you're hunting for the latest AI stuff in legal docs.
I tried one AI will writer but the output was kinda generic and didn't capture specific family situations well. Might work for simple cases only.
