Three legal documents

Last Will & Testament

$49

Names who receives your property, who handles your estate, and who should care for minor children if needed. First Light accounts for your state’s signing, witness, and self-proving rules.

Durable Power of Attorney

$29

Lets someone you trust handle financial and legal matters if you become unable to act for yourself. Built with the durability language your state requires for the document to keep working during incapacity.

Advance Healthcare Directive

$29

Documents your medical wishes and names who can speak with doctors when you cannot. First Light accounts for your state’s signing rules, witness limits, and healthcare decision-making structure.

Companion materials — included with your estate package

Your three legal documents come with six companion materials at no extra cost. They aren’t legal instruments. They’re the working tools that help your family understand, find, and use your documents when they matter.

Nine documents in the package: three legal instruments and six companion materials.

How it works

01

A short set of questions about your family, property, and planning needs. Three minutes. No account.

02

See your findings

A clear summary of what your family may be missing and why each gap matters under your state’s law.

03

What’s behind every recommendation

Every finding First Light surfaces traces back to a specific statute, not a generic checklist. Here’s one of them.

A Texas will must be signed by the person making it and witnessed by two credible witnesses, each at least 14 years old.— If the signing rules are missed, the document may not work when your family needs it.

No subscription

The package is the package. No ongoing plan.

Three legal documents (will, POA, healthcare directive) plus six companion materials. Bought separately, those documents are $107. The full package is $79, while comparable attorney-drafted basics often run $1,500+.

Start the free check

No account needed to begin. You only pay if you choose to generate your documents.

Not a law firm. Have your documents reviewed by a licensed attorney before signing.

Not a replacement for every situation. The right starting point for many families.

First Light is the right start when…

  • You need state-specific documents built on your state’s statutes
  • You want signing instructions that match your state’s rules
  • You want a plan your family can use without a translator

An attorney is right when…

  • You have a blended family or a contested family situation
  • You need complex trusts or significant tax planning
  • You’re planning business succession or hold unusual assets

First Light is built for those families.

Know where you stand before deciding anything.

In a few minutes, see what your family may need, what your state requires, and whether First Light is the right fit.
