ABOUT
About WillGridUS
We built WillGridUS because the cross-state validity question — "I made my will in one state and moved to another, am I covered?" — is something every estate-planning attorney handles routinely, but no consumer-facing tool runs the actual conditional. We did.
What WillGridUS is
An interactive decoder over a 9-axis × 50 states + DC matrix of will-execution rules, holographic acceptance, Electronic Wills Act adoption, and cross-state portability. Every output carries a primary-source citation. Every state cell is sourced to that state's legislature primary URL (or marked PLACEHOLDER pending verification per Pattern I).
What WillGridUS is not
We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. We are not affiliated with the IRS, the American Bar Association, the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, the Uniform Law Commission, or any state bar association. We do not store the inputs you enter into the decoder — they live in your browser.
Reviewer
We are recruiting an estate-planning attorney admitted in multiple states (ideally California, New York, and Texas) with cross-credit on UEWA / interstate-portability questions. The same reviewer covers our sibling estate-cluster sites (SmallEstateMap.us, PostSave.us) — recruit once, attribute per site.
Editorial policy
- No fabrication. Every state-rule claim, every UEWA effective date, every statute citation must trace to a primary source (state legislature, Cornell LII, or ULC tracker). Where a primary source could not be verified, we leave a PLACEHOLDER token rather than paraphrase from secondary sources (Nolo, FindLaw, LegalZoom blog).
- No urgency manipulation. Banned tabloid framing patterns codified in our editorial policy (full list in our internal style guide). We are restrained estate-publication register, not tabloid.
- No fake reviewers. Until a real licensed attorney is named, every reviewer block carries a Pattern H placeholder.
- No alarm red. "Will likely INVALID" output uses subdued maroon, paired with a sage-toned actionable next-step block.
- No black-heavy mourning palette. The audience is multi-generational and includes people who recently lost family — we reject funereal black.
