One clear document starting point

Document help, separated by what you are actually trying to do.

Review, comparison, drafting, official-form discovery, guided preparation, and attorney-review preparation are different tasks. Choose one path without uploading confidential documents or treating a preparation tool as legal review.

Each path explains its current maturity and what remains outside this release.

Not active in this release

Uploads, OCR, external AI, attorney delivery, electronic filing, and advanced drafting access remain closed.

Estate Law Aid does not present those capabilities as live. Use copies rather than originals, keep sensitive identifiers out of browser-local notes, and confirm official forms, deadlines, execution rules, filing requirements, and legal effect with the issuing authority or a qualified attorney.
