A Will Without Ink and Paper - The New York Times

Trust & Will, an online start-up, helps people create fully digital wills and trust documents in Nevada and Indiana and is ready to roll out its service as other states pass legislation. It has teamed up with Notarize.com, a platform that provides legal virtual notarization for real estate and legal documents.

"What we do is ensure you never have to deal with an offline experience," said Cody Barbo, co-founder and chief executive of Trust & Will. "Traditionally, most attorneys retain a copy, you'll have a copy, and then a trusted friend has a copy. Now, it's all digital."

The process works like this: After creating a will online, the user will connect by video chat with a notary who has been emailed the document. The notary reviews the document and asks the creator some questions before notarizing it and sending it back. The procedure is recorded, encrypted and stored by Trust & Will.
