Guided planning. Organised documents. Peace of mind.
The legal side of a lifetime plan is rarely one decision. It is a series of them, taken over years, each depending on paperwork the family has to find first.
Why families arrive at the lawyer unprepared
Legal appointments about a dependent child tend to go the same way: an hour spent establishing facts that were always available at home — who the guardians would be, what cover exists, which certificates have been issued, what has already been drafted and never finished. This applies equally whether your child is autistic or lives with cerebral palsy, an intellectual disability, or another condition — India's National Trust Act specifically recognises guardianship arrangements for persons with autism among its covered disabilities.
That hour is expensive and it is avoidable. LegacyNest is the preparation step: it walks you through what a legal professional will ask, records your answers, and keeps the supporting documents attached to them.
The planning checklist
The areas the product walks you through, so none is quietly forgotten:
-
Guardian appointment
Who would step in, and whether that intention has been recorded anywhere binding.
-
Trust planning
Arrangements intended to support your child beyond your lifetime.
-
Will & executor
What exists, where it is kept, and who is named to act.
-
Power of attorney
Who may act on whose behalf, and within what limits.
-
Healthcare decisions
Who decides, and on what basis, when your child cannot.
-
Emergency plan
What happens in the first hours, before any of the above is reached for.
How the process works
-
Gather information
Guided wizards take each area in turn, asking only what is relevant to your family.

Review your plan

Finalise and store
Completed instruments go into the vault alongside the information they relate to.

LegacyNest is not a law firm
Nothing here is legal advice, and the product does not tell you which law applies to your family or draft binding instruments for you. Indian law offers more than one route for families in this position, and which fits depends on circumstances only a qualified professional can assess. What LegacyNest does is make sure that when you sit down with one, every fact and document they need is already in front of you.
Your family's information stays private
Records are held on infrastructure located in India and are visible only to you and the people you explicitly nominate. See our privacy policy for how information is handled.
Start where you are
Most families begin with the documents already in a drawer somewhere, and let the checklist show them what is missing.
