On your terms

The plan comes to you.The plan comes to you.

Most people put off their estate plan for one reason: it means clearing an afternoon, driving downtown, and sitting in a conference room. We removed the afternoon, the drive, and the conference room.

Who drafts your plan

Credentials that matter.Credentials that matter.

Every plan at Asbury Law is drafted, reviewed, and signed off by Thomas Asbury personally — not a paralegal, not a template, not a call center.

Not sure which plan fits?

Book a 30-minute planning session with Thomas Asbury by video for $150, paid at booking and credited in full toward whichever plan you select. It is a consultation fee, earned when the session is delivered — never a deposit. For a broader question, a Strategy Consultation is $500 per hour under a signed engagement agreement.

Every plan is a limited-scope flat-fee engagement under Rule 4-1.2(c) of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. Individual and couples' prices are shown for each plan; add-ons are priced separately as listed. Selecting a plan on this page is a request, not a purchase: no payment is taken here, and no attorney-client relationship exists until a conflict check is cleared and you sign a written engagement agreement. Delivery targets assume prompt responses to intake questions and are not guarantees. Flat fees are stated in writing before work begins; the engagement agreement discloses the nature of the fee in the manner required by Rule 4-1.5(e). Costs such as recording fees are not included and are stated separately. Prices effective November 12, 2026.

For those who served

A veteran, draftingfor veterans.

Thomas Asbury is a U.S. Army veteran, the son of a decorated Vietnam veteran and West Point graduate, and the nephew of a West Point "star man." The Veteran Legacy module adds planning built around the benefits, survivor considerations, and family circumstances that veterans and their spouses navigate.

How it works

Three steps. No office.Three steps. No office.

01

Select your plan

Choose Essentials, Legacy, or Fortress and send the request form. We run a conflict check first; then your plain-English engagement agreement and invoice arrive by email. Work begins once the agreement is signed and the flat fee is paid.

02

Answer at your own pace

Complete the guided intake whenever it suits you — one sitting or six. Thomas Asbury reviews your answers personally and follows up by encrypted message or a scheduled video call with anything that needs a conversation.

03

Sign from anywhere in Florida

Review your drafts in the portal. When you're satisfied, sign, witness, and notarize in one supervised online ceremony under Florida law. Executed originals go into your vault the same day.

Questions

What people ask before they start.What people ask before they start.

Do I really never have to come to an office?

Correct. Intake, review, questions, signing, witnessing, and notarization all happen online. Florida law has permitted remote online notarization and remote witnessing of estate planning documents since 2020, and Asbury Law uses an integrated, Florida-authorized online execution ceremony for every signing. If you'd prefer to sign in person, the Jacksonville office is available by appointment.

What does "Florida-authorized online ceremony" mean?

Florida's remote online notarization law (Chapter 117, Part II, Florida Statutes) allows a Florida online notary, using a platform registered with the Florida Department of State, to notarize your documents over a recorded audio-video session after verifying your identity. Florida also allows witnesses to attend remotely under supervision. The result is a fully valid Florida execution — the same legal effect as signing at a conference table, without the conference table.

What's the difference between a will and a living trust?

A will goes through probate — a court process that is public, takes months, and costs money. A living trust can pass the assets you place in it to your beneficiaries privately, without a probate proceeding. If you own a home in Florida, the Legacy plan (which includes a trust and the deed to fund it) is often the better fit.

What does "complimentary revision" mean?

Families change — marriages, births, moves, a business sold. For twenty years Thomas Asbury has told clients to revisit their plan every three to five years. So each plan includes one full revision at no charge within its window: 3 years for Essentials, 4 for Legacy, 5 for Fortress. Living Plan Updates extends that to every future revision.

Are these plans really drafted by an attorney, not software?

Yes. Software collects your answers; Thomas Asbury reads them, asks follow-up questions, and drafts and signs off on every document. On-demand documents, which are coming soon, will be different — self-service at the Basic tier, and clearly labeled as such.

Can I upgrade later?

Always. Move from Essentials to Legacy, or Legacy to Fortress, at any time and your original flat fee is credited in full against the new plan.

How does the Veteran Legacy module work?

It is an add-on to any plan — +$495 with Essentials, +$995 with Legacy, +$1,995 with Fortress — covering how your VA benefits and survivor considerations fit with your estate plan. You can also begin with the VA Benefits & Estate Checkup for $350, credited in full toward any plan you select afterward.

What happens to my documents after signing?

Your executed documents are delivered the same day to your private, encrypted Legacy Portal, included with every plan for your first three months. After that the portal continues as a modest monthly subscription (cancel anytime). Your documents remain yours and can be downloaded at any time; keep your signed originals.

Have a question that isn't here? Ask it — we add the good ones.
