Gavel v. WealthCounsel Estate Planning Software

A side-by-side comparison of WealthCounsel's Estate Planning Software v. Gavel:

  • Gavel's documents are clearer and better written, leading to higher client satisfaction.
  • Both Gavel and WealthCounsel's documents are created by licensed attorneys in each state.
  • Better value. Gavel is a better value at less than half the price for a more comprehensive product.
  • More documents. Gavel allows you to automate your firm's documents and also provides other adjacent areas, like probate court forms.
