“Quick and easy”

Quick and easy. Am very happy with the result. It has helped our situation with our disability child who just turned 18 years old to give us power of attorney as before we could access everything for him now we have to go down this road.

“Just trying to complete wills for myself and my husband...”

Larry K.
10/30/24

Just trying to complete wills for myself and my husband this weekend. Friend told us about you versus other online products. I wasn't prompted to set up an account, then it wanted me to open my account with the password I set it up with (which had not been completed yet). I tried to change my password 2-3 times. Each time I was told an email would be sent to accomplish this. No such email was received for any of the requests to change it. I did get 3 other unrelated emails. Frustrating. LOL

I was very frustrated with my bank not letting me purchase internationally but Carolina took ownership of the problem and made everything right. Great forms, excellent customer service. Thanks

I was upset when I called because I couldn't download and print the document and thought I'd lost it. Ms Reyes was calm and courteous--and perfectly efficient! She deserves a raise.

Given the numerous complaints about unwanted charges, here's how I would go about signing up for a supposedly "free" trial...

CitiBank issues credit cards with an optional feature they call VIRTUAL ACCOUNT NUMBERS. Their website allows cardholders to sign up for account "notifications" to be sent via e-mail or as text messages.

After you login to your CitiBank online account you can create a brand new and unique 16-digit credit card account number with a specified maximum dollar limit (for example $50) and expiration date (for example 2- or 8-months from now).

When an online merchant asks for your credit card information, you simply provide the newly-created Virtual number, its expiration date, and (if requested) the 3-digit CVV/CVC number. When the merchant charges your Virtual Account, CitiBank's online data (and any notifications via e-mail or text message) will show that activity within about 10-seconds. (Fast!)

In my experience, the best parts of all this are:
-- I know immediately when my account is charged, and for how much.
-- If a hacker steals my Virtual Number, my primary credit card information is not at risk.
-- By setting a maximum dollar limit, I avoid the "surprise" of recurring charges.
-- I can "close" my Virtual Account at any time. (Meanwhile, my primary account remains open.)

This has been working for me for a couple of years.

I signed up for the free trial to see if this would be a good site for a legal document i was looking to create. Turns out it was not. They advertise this company as "free" but after an hour of filling out forms they hit you with your credit card information. Right after i finished reading their terms and conditions I CANCELLED MY ACCOUNT. Don't think twice of it until 5 months later i realized I have been charged $200 over the past 5 months. Charging me when i cancelled my account that's real professional! In addition to this, they are slimey and don't email you to let you know that charges have been made. This company feeds off of peoples busy lives and letting charges fly under the radar. Customer service is also USELESS and will do nothing to help you besides shove their policy of which you "agreed to" in your face. I read the policy and CANCELLED my account right after. Log on to the account today to see it's not canceled! This is the worst company i have ever dealt with. Pure deciet. Stay away from this con company. Oh! And i will be seeking legal action in order to get my money back! Want my money now! REFUND.

Hello Haylie,

I am sorry if you feel that way.

The trial offer is free for a one week period as stated on the website twice. During that time, you can create, download and print as many documents as you need. You can cancel at any time and there is no obligation. You simply need to cancel the subscription by requesting the cancellation under Your Account, or accessing live chat or phone and we'll cancel it for you within the seven day window. You also receive an email recapping the offer details and the date and time to cancel by appear in the email.

There are no charges to the card if the trial offer is cancelled within the seven day trial period.
As you mentioned, you were the one who cancelled the subscription. The site acknowledges your cancellation right away and you would know it has been cancelled.
The cancellation is real time and it will also send you a confirmation email once cancelled.
If you were still billed for all those months, then that would mean you have not cancelled your subscription correctly resulting to charges on your account.

Unfortunately, no refunds will be processed for a Trial Subscription turned to a monthly service.
The Terms and conditions were outlined clearly when you signed up for the service.

Thank you for your feedback.

Regards,

Divine

The site offers very basic services; however, the services aren't sufficient to fully handle an estate. Customer Service was un-helpful very dismissive.

Thumbnail of user kathiek2
Cynthia S. – LawDepot Rep

Jeremiah, what specifically were you looking for from our website regarding estate planning documents? I can research further who you were speaking with if you provide the telephone number that you called from. Our agents are not able to provide any legal advice or opinion on what form to use or how to complete a form as that does constitute legal advice. Our documents are prepared by attorneys but we are not a practicing law firm so we cannot provide any legal consultation or advice. -Kathie Kinisky, Manager, Customer Support 1-855-231-8424

Instead of refunding my money for the transaction. They charged me a second time. Guy on the phone had said that i had contacted them within the time frame for the refund and that he would refund it. Then another lady "Tina" from customer support said that I did not contact them within the time frame and that it was my fault basically. I have the transaction stamps going through my credit card showing both transactions at (-$40.95) x 2. So instead of even receiving any subscription or refund, I was charged twice for nothing. For a law-based website, this is a joke. The people running the website, only care for your money. They programed a nice app. But if you contact me, I will write a partnership agreement for free.
It won't let me post a picture of my credit statement on here but these are the stamps.

Hello Rodregais,

I am sorry to hear about the bad experience with two of our Customer Support Agents. I have looked into your record and found out that there was only one charge for $40.95 and we have processed a refund which would take 5 business days to post back to your account. I understand you are seeing two charges on your bank statement. It may be that one is a pre-authorization charge and the other is an actual charge or you may have another account registered. In order to assist you further, please provide one of the following to email dgalvez@lawdepot.com:
- Email address associated with this account.
- Order number starting with LWS.
- First and last four digits of the credit card used for the purchase, name on the card and the date of purchase.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience. We will continue to work on our site to improve all areas of service.

Regards,

Divine

Paid for service and didn't receive it. Tried a charge back with VISA but they said "there isn't enough evidence to prove the services weren't completed". I'm out $500. Be Warned!

Add more tutorials for information for particular state laws and regulations in creating the documents. Information is somewhat vague

Thumbnail of user divineg8
Divine G. – LawDepot Rep

Hello Eric,

Our document template software is a tool that allows customers to create agreements, not an all-encompassing solution that does everything for the end user. The expectation is that customers are responsible for awareness of special requirements in their jurisdiction. While we may try to help customers by making common answer suggestions or providing information in frequently asked questions, ultimately, it is up to the customer to know what their fact situation requires or to get the assistance of local legal counsel. The question template is intended to accommodate the majority of end users and to give them the flexibility to create a document that will work for them. The customer drafts, creates and edits the document as they feel is best.

We appreciate the feedback, and thank you for visiting our site.

Regards,

Divine
