Posterity is an estate planning platform that combines the ease of an online experience with the support of a real legal team. We help you create a legally sound estate plan that protects your assets and family from probate, taxes, and legal complications.
A Will alone doesn’t avoid probate. If you own titled property (like a house or car) or signature property (like a bank or retirement account), a full estate plan ensures your assets are transferred smoothly and privately—without court delays, public records, or additional fees.
Most online tools offer DIY documents with no legal review. Posterity combines technology with attorney oversight, so your plan is both convenient and legally strong. It’s the best of both worlds: simple, yet secure.
Once you’ve paid your retainer, the legal process includes five clear steps. If you're proactive with paperwork, it can be done quickly—even in a day—but we allow up to three months to complete your initial plan. After that, you’ll keep access through a small monthly subscription.
Your plan typically includes a Will, Living Trust, Health Care Directive, Power of Attorney, and other core legal documents. As your attorney reviews your situation, they may recommend additional protections based on your assets and goals.
We start with a comprehensive estate plan that fits most people’s needs. As we move through the process, our legal team may suggest additional legal structures that better protect your estate. These are optional and offered transparently if needed.
You’ll work with either a Posterity Legal team member or a trained local agent, depending on how you signed up. Your dedicated contact will help gather your info, set up the app, and walk you through the process—start to finish.
That’s exactly why we offer ongoing access through our secure portal. You can update your plan as needed—new child, new home, divorce, inheritance, and more. Posterity grows with your life.
