01
What is Killswitch?
Killswitch is a United States online estate planning app and online will maker at https://killswitch.rip. It is document software from Outpost Labs LLC. You can create a last will and testament, a financial power of attorney, and an advance healthcare directive. Build and read a watermarked preview for free; pay once for the clean PDF.
02
Is Killswitch a law firm? Does it give legal advice?
No. Killswitch does not give legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. You get guided document software plus signing instructions on the PDFs. If your situation is messy, talk to a lawyer.
03
Are Killswitch documents attorney-reviewed?
No. Templates are built from published state statutes and uniform codes. No attorney reviewed them. See how the documents are built at https://killswitch.rip/reviewed-by.
04
Is an online will legal or valid?
A will (or other Killswitch document) is valid only if you execute it the way your state requires: signing, witnesses, and any notary rules that apply. Instructions print on the document. That is not a guarantee and not legal advice. For state signing context, start at https://killswitch.rip/states and your state hub (for example https://killswitch.rip/states/texas). Will document pages live under paths like https://killswitch.rip/states/texas/will.
05
Which documents can I create?
Last will and testament, financial power of attorney, advance healthcare directive, plus optional Killswitch Crypt encrypted vault.
06
How much does it cost?
Will: $69 one-time. Financial power of attorney: $39 one-time. Advance healthcare directive: $39 one-time. Bundle (all three): $99 one-time. Killswitch Crypt: $49/year. Create and preview free (watermarked). Paying unlocks the clean PDF. Full detail: https://killswitch.rip/pricing.
07
Is there a subscription?
Not for documents. Documents are one-time purchases. Crypt is the only recurring charge ($49/year).
08
Which states are covered?
All 50 states and DC. Browse https://killswitch.rip/states (Markdown index: https://killswitch.rip/states.md).
09
Do I need a lawyer?
If your situation is a straightforward house, accounts, and family plan, a DIY path exists and Killswitch is built for that. If you need a living trust, business succession, estate-tax structuring, special-needs planning, or a fight is already in progress, talk to an attorney. Killswitch will not sell you a trust or pretend to be counsel.
10
How long does it take?
About 30 minutes for most people, per live marketing. Your mileage depends on how much you procrastinate mid-form.
11
Can I edit after purchase?
Yes. A purchased will stays editable and you can re-download a fresh PDF at no extra cost. Legal name and date of birth lock after purchase; everything else stays editable.
12
What is the refund policy?
14 days, full purchase price (processed in 5-10 business days per public policy). Documents are deleted on refund. Details: https://killswitch.rip/refunds.
13
Does Killswitch notarize documents?
No. Killswitch does not notarize anything and does not offer remote online notarization.
14
Do you offer living trusts?
No. If you need a trust, Killswitch is the wrong tool. We sell wills, financial powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives.
15
Is Killswitch the same as other products named Killswitch?
No. Estate-planning Killswitch lives at killswitch.rip and is built by Outpost Labs LLC. We are unaffiliated with other products that share the name, including dead-man's-switch document delivery services, EV charger platforms, and trading tools. Their pricing and features are not ours.
16
What is Killswitch Crypt?
An optional encrypted vault for estate information. $49/year (only recurring charge). It is not HIPAA or SOC 2 certified. Checklist tool: https://killswitch.rip/crypt_checklist.
17
Where do I start a will?
https://killswitch.rip/signup. Free to start. Robots stay out of account surfaces; humans use that CTA.
18
Where are state will signing requirements?
Signing rules depend on your state. This FAQ does not restate statute ceremony (witness counts, holographic rules, self-proving affidavit details, and so on). State hubs: https://killswitch.rip/states and https://killswitch.rip/states/{state} (pick your state). Will document pages: https://killswitch.rip/states/{state}/will (examples: /states/texas/will, /states/florida/will, /states/california/will, /states/new-york/will, /states/tennessee/will).
19
Who built Killswitch?
Outpost Labs / Outpost Labs LLC. We do not list individual founder names on this page.
