Your family deserves a clear plan —
not a courtroom fight over what you left behind.
Right now, without a living trust, the state has already written an estate plan for your family. It involves probate court, public records, months of waiting — and zero input from you.
Black Legacy Kit gives you the knowledge, the workspace, and the attorney-ready packet to take that control back — starting today, for free.
No credit card. No legal advice. Just clarity.
The cost of waiting
Three families. Three painful lessons. All preventable.
These aren't hypothetical. They happen every day — to families who thought they had more time.
"We almost lost Mom's house."
When Marcus passed without a will or trust, his three children and two relatives he'd lost touch with all became co-owners of the family home. Any one of them could force a sale. The partition lawsuit lasted 18 months.
Outcome: $34,000 in legal fees. The house was sold.
"Probate took everything we expected to inherit."
The Johnson family discovered their mother's estate had to go through full probate. The process took 14 months and cost over $22,000 in legal fees — before a single dollar reached her children.
Outcome: Public record. Family conflict. Delayed for over a year.
"She had a trust — it just wasn't funded."
David signed a living trust in 2019. He never retitled his home or accounts into it. When he died, everything went through probate anyway — as if the trust had never existed.
Outcome: The trust did nothing. Probate happened anyway.

Imagine this instead
Picture your family six months from now.
Your attorney has everything she needs. Your home is protected. Your children know exactly who the trustee is, where the documents are, and what to do if something happens to you. You close your laptop and feel something you haven't felt in years — complete peace of mind.
That's not a fantasy. That's what organized estate planning actually feels like — and it starts with a five-minute triage right here.

Built for generational wealth
Black families face specific risks that most estate planning tools completely ignore.
Heirs' property. Partition sale pressure. Homestead exemptions that never got filed. Medicaid estate recovery on the family home. These aren't edge cases — they're the primary threat to Black generational wealth in America.
Black Legacy Kit was built with these risks at the center — not as an afterthought.
Chicago / Illinois
Estate tax thresholds, Cook County exemptions, Medicaid recovery, and probate shortcuts.
Tennessee
No state inheritance tax, small estate affidavit, TennCare recovery, property tax relief.
Atlanta / Georgia
No estate tax, Fulton homestead exemptions, Year's Support law, Medicaid recovery rules.
You've already taken the first step — you're here.
Most people spend years meaning to get this done. You're reading this right now. That means something. Don't leave without taking the free triage. Five questions. Five minutes. A clear next step — at no cost.
Black Legacy Kit is educational software — not a law firm. We tell you what to organize. Your attorney tells you what to sign.
