It is available on Android, iOS, and the web in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Québec, and Saskatchewan. The Will Only package costs $139, paid once and includes final-wish details, executor and guardian notifications, an asset and key-contact record, a Social Media Will, signing instructions, free document updates, and a Canada Will Registry registration code. The Will + Incapacity Documents package costs $199, paid once and adds appointments for financial management and health-care decisions if the user becomes incapable. Epilogue says a Will can be created in 20 minutes, but signing must be completed before it is legally binding. It says documents can be updated free at any time. Epilogue is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Data security descriptions include TLS 1.2 transfers, RSA/SHA-256 encryption, and Canadian encrypted storage.

InterActive Legal offers automated document drafting software for estate planning and elder law. Its product range covers wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care documents, trust administration forms, agreements, and client communications. Essential Estate Planning is designed for clients of modest wealth, while Wealth Transfer Planning focuses on clients with significant wealth. Elder Law Planning addresses elder law and special needs planning. Firearms Trust Planning includes a single-grantor revocable NFA Trust and related ancillary documents. The online system runs in a browser and supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Chromium Edge, Brave, and Opera. It works in Windows, Mac, iOS, and Linux environments and has been tested on Android tablets. Documents are produced in .docx format, but the word-processing toolbar is supported only in Word for Windows. The Legacy installation requires a supported Windows version, Microsoft Word, and HotDocs Player. Online customer data is stored encrypted on AWS servers, and browser-to-server transfers use TLS 1.3 and SHA-256 encryption. Users may opt into multi-factor authentication using a third-party authenticator app. Pricing is available on request.
