TL;DR

Trust & Will is the right choice if you want a one-time, state-specific will document and nothing else. At $199, it’s competitive with a walk-in attorney.

Henedo is the right choice if you also want an encrypted vault for your insurance, deeds, crypto, and passwords; unlimited will updates without a separate membership; a dead man’s switch that releases access only if you stop checking in; and an optional 100-to-500-year post-quantum Eternal Vault for your descendants (with a 1,000-year M-DISC archival add-on). Guardian is $7.99/month. Over 3 years, that’s $287 vs $346 for Trust & Will with their $49/yr Membership, for a platform that grows with you.

Where Trust & Will wins

Trust & Will’s brand is well-known and their attorney partner network is mature. If you want a one-time product, walk into a mental model you already understand, and never touch the document again, Trust & Will is a fine choice.

Where Henedo wins

It grows with your life

Marriage, new child, home purchase, divorce, every life change is a reason to update. Trust & Will charges for re-purchase; Henedo’s unlimited updates are included.

Your crypto is covered

40 million Americans own crypto. Most will lose it when they die. Henedo stores wallet recovery phrases in the same vault with split-key delivery to trusted heirs. Trust & Will cannot touch this.

Zero-knowledge encryption

Henedo cannot read your documents, even under subpoena. Keys never leave your device. Trust & Will encrypts at rest but their staff can read your data. See full architecture.
