Frequently Asked Questions

Your answers are stored in an encrypted database, and all traffic to and from Legaxi is encrypted in transit. We're also building client-side encryption so that your plan can only be read using your own key — not even Legaxi staff would be able to view it. Until that feature ships, standard database-level protections and access controls apply, the same as most secure web applications.

You answer a series of guided questions about your wishes, finances, healthcare preferences, and important contacts. Legaxi organizes those answers and uses AI to turn them into a clear, well-structured document — but every detail in your plan comes directly from what you tell us. Nothing is invented or assumed.

Yes. Legaxi uses Anthropic's Claude AI to help organize your answers into a readable plan document, and — if you choose to use it — to help write your life story from the details you provide. Your raw answers are what drive the output; the AI's role is to organize and write clearly, not to make decisions or add information you haven't given.

Generally, copies should go to the people who may need to act on it: your named healthcare agent, your executor, close family members involved in your care, and your primary doctor. If you've named an attorney or financial advisor, they should have a copy too. The goal is that anyone who might need to make a decision on your behalf already has the information in hand — not scrambling to find it later.

Look for someone organized, trustworthy, and willing to take on the responsibility — this is often a spouse, adult child, sibling, or close friend, though some people choose a professional (like an attorney or bank trust department) for larger or more complex estates. It helps if they live nearby or are comfortable handling things remotely. This is a personal decision, and if your estate is complex, it's worth discussing your choice with an estate attorney.

It depends on what you own and how it's titled. Simple, single-owner property in one state often doesn't require one. Jointly owned property, property in multiple states, disputes among heirs, or anything unusual about how a property is titled are all situations where a real estate or estate attorney is worth involving. When in doubt, a short consult is inexpensive relative to the cost of getting it wrong.
