Updates

After launching Better Off in October, we’re thrilled to announce new plans and features that give you and your family even more protection for the future.

• Comprehensive Plans enable you to set up a trust that details how your assets are managed, controlled, and distributed during your lifetime and after death. A trust also helps you avoid the public probate process—saving your loves ones time and money. Unlike other legal documentation offerings, our experience guides you through key decisions instead of worrying about which documents you’ll need.
• Link your account with a spouse or partner to build and manage your estate plan together, ensuring your shared wishes, assets, and loved ones are aligned. Your personal decisions—like how you want to be treated by medical professionals or how you want to be memorialized—will remain separate. All users can still give viewing access to important people in their life to review their plan and make their wishes known.
• Of course, we also snuck in some other “quality of life” improvements with this release to make it smoother than ever to plan for the unexpected.

Better Off is currently serving California residents, who know that probate can be a lengthy and expensive process. Keep an eye out as we announce where Better Off will be available next.

We’re excited to announce the launch of Better Off, a digital estate planning platform that helps you make a plan now for what will happen to you, your family, and your belongings when you die.

Estate planning and writing a will can feel daunting, emotional, and overwhelming. That’s why we built Better Off’s intuitive planning tool, so you can create your plan at your own pace without ever having to hire an attorney.

• Select someone you trust to make medical decisions if you become incapacitated.
• Express detailed preferences around your medical treatment and end of life care.
• Explain what you want to happen to your body and how you want to be memorialized.
• Determine who will care for your children, adult dependents, and pets.
• Identify how your money and possessions will be distributed.

After you work through these scenarios, documents are automatically generated—all you have to do is print, sign, and notarize to make them legally binding.

Unlike other online estate planning services, we focus on a higher degree of customization that captures the uniqueness of your family and the deeply personal nature of planning for your death. We guide you through each step and clearly explain the implications behind the choices you’re making, all without the complicated legal jargon.

Starting today, Better Off’s available for California residents, and we’re thrilled to hear feedback from users early in our first launch. We’ll continue to share updates as the product is available in more states and as more features roll out.
