How it works
Estate planning made simple
HowDoYa guides you through every step — no lawyers, no jargon, no stress. Here's exactly what happens when you get started.
Pick your goal
Tell us what you want to protect. Whether it's making a will, naming a guardian for your kids, or setting up a power of attorney — choose the document that fits your situation and we'll take it from there.
Not sure where to start? Our goal picker walks you through the most common situations so you can make a confident choice.
Answer plain-language questions
We ask you simple, plain-English questions — one at a time. No legal forms, no confusing terminology. Just straightforward prompts that gather exactly what's needed to build your documents.
Your answers are saved automatically as you go. Step away and come back anytime — your progress is always waiting for you.
Review your answers
Before anything is finalised, you get a full summary of everything you've told us. Read through it carefully, make edits inline, and make sure every detail is exactly right.
This is your chance to catch anything you want to change before moving forward.
Get your personalised next steps
Once you're happy with your answers, HowDoYa generates a personalised action checklist — the exact steps you need to take to make your documents legally valid and your family protected.
Each action links to the right resource so you always know what to do next.
