How to create an account on Willful

Here's how to create your Willful account and start your will in just a few minutes.

What is a Willful account?

Your Willful account is your secure, personal dashboard where you create, edit, and store your estate planning documents. Setting one up is the first step. It lets you:

  • Start your will or power of attorney documents

  • Save your progress and return anytime

  • Access completed documents for download or printing

  • Update your documents as your life changes

How to create your Willful account

Go straight to sign-up, or click Get started on willful.co.

  1. Enter your email address and click Get started.

  2. Answer a few quick questions about yourself and your family, like your preferred name, your province, your birth year, and whether you have a spouse or partner, children, or pets. This is how Willful tailors your documents and recommends a plan.

  3. Add your full legal name and city. A phone number is optional.

  4. Click Create my plan to see which plan best fits your situation, then select one to start your will.

Signing in

You don't need a password. Each time you sign in, Willful emails you a one-time code. If you'd rather use a password, you can set one anytime in your account settings and sign in with that instead.

Common questions

Do I need to pay to create an account?

Creating your account is free. Once you've picked your plan, a one-time payment unlocks your documents and includes unlimited updates for life. Comparing Willful plans

Can my partner and I share one account?

Each person needs their own Willful account, even on the Premium Coverage x2 plan, which gives each of you your own account and your own documents. Separate accounts keep each person's information and choices private and legally accurate. How to invite a second person to your Premium x2 plan

My payment didn't go through. What should I check?

Willful uses Stripe to process payments. The most common cause is a mismatch between the postal code on your card and the one you entered, so check that first. Stripe also doesn't support cards that require 3DS identity verification, so try a different card if you have one. If it still fails, contact us and we'll check the error message with you.
