Guided Journeys
What are you dealing with?
Pick your situation. We'll ask one question at a time — skipping anything that doesn't apply to you — and hand you a personalized document, organizer, checklist, or plan.
Plan for the Future / Life & Legacy
Wills, powers of attorney, and getting your affairs into one place before anyone needs them.
Simple Will
Decide who gets what — instead of leaving it to the state.
If you die without a will, your state decides who gets your property. Pick your state, answer a few questions about your family and your wishes, and get a will drafted to your state's signing requirements.
Estate Planning Organizer
Find out what you have, what you're missing, and what to do first.
Most people have no idea which planning documents they already have. Answer a few questions and get a personalized organizer that maps out what's in place, what's missing, and the order to fix it in.
Probate & After a Death
Someone has died and you're the one left holding the paperwork. Start here.
After a Death: First Steps
What to do in the first 30 days, in the order it needs to happen.
Someone has died and you're the one sorting it out. Answer a few questions and get a personalized action plan — who to notify, what to gather, and what can wait.
Caregiving & Aging Parents
Caring for a parent, a spouse, or a child with extra needs — and keeping it all straight.
Caregiver's Emergency Organizer
Everything someone else would need if you were suddenly out of action.
If you got sick tomorrow, who would know which medications she takes, which doctor to call, and where the insurance card is? Answer a few questions and get a personalized care binder.
IEP & Special Needs
School meetings, evaluations, and getting your child the support they're entitled to.
IEP Meeting Prep
Walk into the meeting knowing what to ask and what to bring.
School meetings move fast and the district knows the process better than you do. Answer a few questions and get a prep plan — the documents to bring, the questions to ask, and what to do if the answer is no.
504 Plan Prep
Get the accommodations your child is entitled to — in writing.
A 504 plan isn't special education and it isn't a favor. It's a civil rights protection. Answer a few questions and get a prep plan — the accommodations to ask for by name, the documents to bring, and what to do when the school says no.
Divorce & Family Changes
Separation, custody, and the practical side of splitting a household.
Divorce Prep: Getting Organized
Get your facts, your documents, and your questions in order first.
Divorce is decided on paperwork — who earns what, who owns what, and who has been paying for what. Answer a few questions and get a prep plan that puts you ahead of the process instead of behind it.
Other Self-Help Legal Processes
Small claims, debt defense, records requests, and everything else people handle on their own.
We're writing the questions for this category now. The journeys here will work exactly the same way — one question at a time, then a personalized plan.
Legal Compass Lounge provides general legal information and self-help tools. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Every journey tells you when your situation looks like one that needs a licensed attorney — and that advice is free to read, whether or not you finish.
