FreeWill

FreeWill (operating at freewill.com) is a socially driven estate planning platform engineered for accessibility and charitable impact. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Concord, CA, FreeWill redefines traditional will-making by offering a free, legally valid online tool that eliminates barriers to estate planning. Unlike conventional services that charge fees or require complex legal processes, FreeWill simplifies the creation of last wills and testaments while subtly encouraging charitable giving. Under the hood, the platform leverages user-friendly digital forms and legal safeguards to ensure documents meet state requirements, while its business model—supported by nonprofit partnerships—funds the service without hidden costs. This allows individuals to draft and execute their wills effortlessly, with the added benefit of directing assets to charitable causes, having already facilitated over $13 billion in charitable commitments. Backed by a $42.3 million funding round, including a $30 million Series B, FreeWill positions itself at the intersection of philanthropy and technology, empowering donors to make meaningful, non-cash contributions with ease.
