Looking for a Notarize Alternative — or a Tool That Comes Before Notarization?
Notarize (now Proof) is best known for remote online notarization. If you came here looking for a way to prepare the estate documents themselves before you notarize them, here is a fair look at how VoiceWill's voice-guided approach fits in.
Two different jobs
Remote online notarization solves the signing step. It doesn't draft your will, trust, healthcare directive, or POA. VoiceWill handles the drafting step through a voice-guided conversation, then hands off attorney-ready documents that you can have notarized however your state allows.
What VoiceWill does differently
- Voice-guided intake. A conversation, not a stack of forms.
- Six coordinated documents. Will, trust, healthcare directive, POA, legacy letter, and supported decision-making agreement built from the same answers.
- Photo asset vault. Document important possessions for your family.
- State-aware guidance. Witness and notarization requirements surfaced for the state you select.
Where Notarize is the right tool
Once your documents are prepared, you still need to execute them properly. For documents that allow remote online notarization in your state, services like Notarize, Proof, or DocuSign Notary can be convenient. Many wills still require physical witnesses regardless.
What to compare in any service
- Does the service draft documents, notarize them, or both?
- Does your state allow remote online notarization for wills?
- Are physical witnesses still required?
- Is attorney review available, included, or optional?
- What happens to your data, and can you delete it?
An honest disclaimer
VoiceWill is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We recommend a licensed attorney in your state review your final documents before they are signed. See our state requirements reference for execution rules in your state.

What documents does VoiceWill produce?
VoiceWill generates a coordinated package: will, revocable living trust, healthcare directive, power of attorney, legacy letter, and supported decision-making agreement — all from a single voice-guided conversation.
Does VoiceWill include attorney review?
VoiceWill prepares attorney-ready drafts. We strongly recommend a licensed attorney in your state review final documents before signing. We do not provide that review ourselves.
