Supported Decision-Making Agreement™
The legal alternative to guardianship — so the people you trust help you decide, without taking away your rights.
Start My SDMA →An SDMA names trusted supporters — family, friends, advocates — who help you understand your options and make your own decisions. You keep full legal control. No court. No guardian. No loss of rights.
It's recognized in all 50 states and is increasingly required by doctors, banks, and care facilities before acting on someone's behalf.
Who Needs This
Adults with IDD or Autism
Avoid guardianship. Stay in charge of your own life with people you trust beside you.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Name the supporters who understand your needs before a crisis forces someone else to decide.
Families Planning Ahead
Create an SDMA alongside your will and healthcare directive — before it's ever needed.
No other national estate planning platform offers a guided SDMA intake. LegalZoom doesn't offer it. Trust & Will doesn't offer it. VoiceWill™ built it first.
