Pricing FAQs
Why can’t I just use DIY forms?
You can, and transparently DIY forms might make sense for many people with simple situations. At the same time, the risk is that you get an over-generalized plan that doesn’t meet your needs — both the ones you’ve considered, and the ones you didn’t realize you should have considered. DIY forms don’t deal well with any sort of custom preferences, and don’t try to accommodate the complexity that comes with business interests, blended families, special needs children, or long-term care planning.
At Jay, we believe that technology can do a lot to simplify and streamline the process of planning for both attorneys and clients — far beyond simple situations, but we are intentional about where we rely on attorneys and where we use technology and forms.
Think of it as the difference between going to see a doctor or asking Claude or ChatGPT. For a runny nose or a simple rash, you might self-diagnose. But for a serious condition, you still want to see a doctor.
Wills and trusts are simple on their face, but they ultimately relate to ensuring that your wishes with respect to everything you own and everyone you care about are reflected when you die.
How can Jay Law offer flat-fee pricing? Does that mean lower quality?
No. Jay Law is supported by Jay OS, a technology company designed to make planning as efficient as possible without compromising the client experience. Our attorneys spend the majority of their time with clients, and work closely with engineers to streamline the process and reduce the risk of error.
What if my situation is more complex?
We also handle more complex trusts and planning, and quote that work individually, up front. We’re still refining pricing for these as we learn from our early matters.
