Your estate plan,
done right.
Attorney-prepared documents. Online convenience. Fixed, transparent pricing. No office visits required.
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.
Four steps to a complete estate plan
From questionnaire to signed documents, the whole process typically takes less than two weeks — and most of that time is waiting for signatures, not attorneys.

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.
