Paid Products

Settled Estate offers paid personalized informational products that may use AI-assisted drafting to analyze your answers and generate reports. These products are one-time purchases, not subscriptions. No account is required.

Connect with an Attorney — Lead Sharing

Settled Estate offers an optional “connect with an attorney” feature. If you choose to use it and submit that form, you are asking Settled Estate to share the contact details and request information you provide — such as your name, phone number, email address, ZIP code, and a description of your situation — with 4LegalLeads, our attorney-matching partner, and the independent attorney they connect you with, so that the attorney may contact you about your matter.

Settled Estate is not a law firm and does not provide legal services. Use of the attorney-connect feature does not create an attorney-client relationship with Settled Estate. Any attorney who contacts you is an independent professional; they may charge fees for their services, which are separate from any amounts paid to Settled Estate.

This sharing happens only when you complete and submit the attorney-connect form. It does not apply to your use of our free guides, calculators, assessments, or paid informational report products. For details on how we handle your data and your opt-out rights, see our Privacy Policy.
