Nationally recognized as creative strategists and estate planners of the highest caliber, our founders are trailblazers in the profession. Both highly respected by colleagues nationwide for their innovation and leadership, these forward-thinking attorneys came together to create a software solution that is so robust and dynamic that it can handle the highly sophisticated needs of 21st century estate planners and elder law attorneys.
This company, developed for like-minded professionals, works with an impressive advisory group - men and women with deep expertise and decades of planning and elder law experience who understand that a sophisticated solution is needed for the new age.
Today, the planning and drafting system is so robust and sophisticated, it helps attorneys in all 50 states tackle even the most complicated planning challenges with utmost confidence.

“The sales & training teams at InterActive Legal have been professional and top notch. They make the process to learn the software as easy and as thorough as possible. It is also a wonderful product that has already enhanced my practice!”
Allyson B. Russo
Russo Law Offices – Hinsdale, IL
"An attorney practicing elder law without the benefit of sophisticated software is foolhardy. On the other hand, an attorney who blindly plugs a client’s information into canned forms does his clients a disservice. InterActive Legal, with its unparalleled support and comprehensive draft documents that are fully and easily customized to fit clients’ personal situations, allows me to practice law efficiently and effectively. My clients deserve no less."
H. Amos Goodall, Jr., Esquire, LL.M., CELA
Goodall & Yurchak, P.C. - State College, PA
"I have been using InterActive Legal for a number of years. Like any technology, there is a learning curve, but they have an excellent staff to help you when you can’t figure something out. The forms can be as sophisticated or as simple as you desire. Because it is a system, it prompts you to make decisions as you do your drafting. If you don’t understand the question, the system has a tutorial to help you understand why it is asking you a question. The system is upgraded on a continual basis. I highly recommend it."

"I researched all the estate planning drafting systems on the market before purchasing ILS Wealth Transfer Planning. It is by far the best drafting system in terms of both the estate planning documents themselves and the resources and expertise available to users. ILS allows me to do sophisticated documents and, as a side benefit, I also use ILS for research and education."
