Why Plan in Place

The third option you didn't know existed

Doing it yourself online is risky — you're preparing complex legal documents without any professional guidance. Hiring a traditional attorney can be expensive, slow, and inconvenient. Plan in Place combines the best of both.

✓
Real attorney involvement, every time Every plan is reviewed and prepared by a licensed Ohio attorney. Not a template engine — an actual lawyer.
⚡
Done in days, not months We respond within 24 hours of your questionnaire. Documents are ready within 3 business days of your approval.
💰
Fixed, transparent pricing You know the cost before you start. No surprises, no hourly billing, no ambiguity.
🏠
No office visits required Complete the questionnaire from your couch, on your schedule. Office visits available if you want one — but never required.

⚖ The Aligned Model
Client
The focus The process conforms to their needs. Every decision serves their goals.
Advisor
The catalyst Identifies the need, makes the introduction, stays informed throughout. Receives draft documents and beneficiary instructions upon completion.
Attorney
The craftsman Handles all legal work. Communicates directly with the client and keeps the advisor in the loop.
A note on compliance Platforms like Vanilla and Wealth.com ask advisors to "facilitate" estate plan creation — a model that approaches the unauthorized practice of law. Plan in Place eliminates that risk entirely. The attorney does all legal work. The advisor's role stays exactly where it belongs.
Common Questions

Before you get started

What is an estate plan and do I really need one?

An estate plan is a set of legal documents that determine what happens to your money, property, and children if you die or become incapacitated. If you have kids, a home, retirement accounts, or anyone who depends on you — yes, you need one.

Do I need a trust, or is a will enough?

A will alone often means probate — a public, court-supervised process that can take months and cost money. A trust lets your assets pass privately and immediately. We'll recommend the right approach based on your questionnaire answers.

How is this different from LegalZoom?

LegalZoom gives you forms to fill out yourself. Plan in Place gives you documents prepared by an attorney who has reviewed your specific situation and confirmed the plan makes sense for you. It's the difference between WebMD and a doctor.

What if my situation is complicated?

The questionnaire is designed to identify complexity. If your situation needs more attention than Plan in Place is built for, we'll tell you — and Pappas Gibson offers traditional estate planning services for more complex needs.

Do I ever have to come into an office?

No. The entire process happens online and by mail. If you want an in-person meeting, we're happy to arrange one — but it's never required.

How long does it actually take?

The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes. We respond within 24 hours. Documents are ready within 3 business days of your approval. Most clients have a complete, signed estate plan within two weeks.
