For self-represented Floridians
Learn the rules that decide who inherits, check a plan or a document you already have, decide each finding yourself, and reach an independent Florida attorney when a question needs one. Free to learn, no account required.
Self-help estate-planning software — general legal information, not legal advice, and not a substitute for a licensed Florida attorney. You are the author of your documents.
Step 1 · Learn
Before you decide anything, learn what Florida law actually says — in plain language, on real statutes, with worked examples. The library and the calculator are free and open; they state the law and recommend nothing.
What Florida law actually says about intestacy, the elective share, homestead, antilapse, and how a will's own words control who takes — each against the verbatim, source-locked statute text.
Open the library →Model a family and see the exact shares under all three systems — Florida's default per stirpes, per capita with representation, and the 1990 UPC rule — side by side. It's arithmetic, not advice.
Try the calculator →Every explainer opens the guided assistant with your question ready — general legal information for your situation, framed as questions to weigh, never a recommendation.
See how it works →Step 2 · Check
Create a Florida-tailored plan from locked master templates, or run an existing document through a plain-language review. Every review is work product for your own reading — each finding is yours to weigh, not a verdict.
Answer a guided questionnaire and get a Florida-tailored will, trust, power of attorney, or healthcare directive from locked master templates — you fill in the blanks, the software never composes law for you.
Start your plan →Upload an existing will, trust, or legal document for a plain-language, clause-by-clause read — what it does, what's missing, the red flags, and the questions to consider.
Review a document →A structured look at what a plan covers and what it doesn't — missing protections, probate and tax exposure, beneficiary gaps — each framed as a factor to weigh and a question for a licensed attorney.
Run a free checkup →Step 3 · Decide
Every finding a review raises is a fact about your document measured against published Florida law — with the neutral consequence stated. You approve it, set it aside, or send it back to your answers to change. The software never edits your document for you and never picks the option for you: each choice is yours, recorded as yours.
That is the whole design: the decisions belong to you, so the documents are authored by you.
For each finding, you choose
Step 4 · Connect
Self-help software is the right tool for a great many Florida families — and the wrong tool for some situations. When a question turns on judgment a nonlawyer tool can’t give — a contested homestead, a blended family, a taxable estate, a will already in dispute — the platform says so and shows you the independent-attorney connect path instead of guessing.
Attorney review is an optional, independent connection — never bundled, never a substitute for your own choice to seek counsel.
A nonlawyer tool, by design
EstateDraftFL is not a law firm and does not practice law. It prepares self-help documents from your own answers and gives you general legal information — the same protected self-help a Florida form book provides, with the software’s checks added. The judgment about your specific situation stays with you, and with any attorney you choose.
My Estate Desk is a free education-first hub for self-represented Floridians. AI guidance is powered by Claude Opus 5. All output is general legal information — not legal advice, and not a substitute for a licensed attorney. A licensed Florida attorney review is an optional add-on.
