Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SunstateDocs.
About the Documents
Are these documents valid in Florida?
Each template is Florida-specific and includes the execution blocks and instructions stated on its product page. Customers are responsible for following the signing, witness, and notarization instructions.
Do I need to sign in front of a notary?
Yes. The documents are generated with all required signature blocks, but Florida law requires most estate planning documents to be signed before 2 witnesses and a notary. We provide clear instructions with every document.
Are these generic templates or Florida-specific?
Florida-specific. Every document is drafted from Florida statutes — Ch. 732 for Wills, Ch. 709 for Powers of Attorney, Ch. 765 for Health Care documents. These are not national templates.
What if my situation is complicated?
The service is designed for straightforward situations covered by the guided intake. If the intake does not cover your circumstances or requires individualized legal judgment, this product may not be appropriate.
The Process
How does the intake process work?
Our guided form walks you through one plain-English question at a time. Your answers fill the variable fields in a fixed Florida-specific document template.
How long does it take?
Most individual documents take 8–15 minutes. The bundle of all 5 documents takes about 20–25 minutes since many fields pre-populate from your earlier answers.
What format are the documents in?
You receive an editable Word (DOCX) document, emailed to you immediately after checkout.
Can I edit the documents after generating them?
Yes — the DOCX file is fully editable. Any edits can affect meaning, formatting, and execution, so review the complete document carefully before signing.
Payment & Refunds
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit and debit cards via Stripe — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Payment is processed securely by Stripe.
Is there a refund policy?
Because each custom order begins document preparation, we do not offer refunds after preparation has begun. Digital resources are non-refundable after delivery. If you have a problem with your purchase, contact us at hello@sunstatedocs.com and we will make it right.
Are there any subscription fees?
No. SunstateDocs is a one-time purchase per document or bundle. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.
Florida-Specific Questions
Does Florida require witnesses for a Will?
Yes. Florida requires 2 witnesses and a notary for a self-proving Will under Ch. 732 F.S. Our Will template includes the complete self-proving affidavit with all required signature blocks.
Do I need a Living Will and a Health Care Surrogate?
They serve different purposes. A Living Will declares your wishes about life-prolonging procedures. A Health Care Surrogate designates someone to make medical decisions for you. Many people choose to have both.
Will these documents work if I move out of Florida?
These documents are designed specifically for Florida. If you move to another state, do not assume that the same forms or execution requirements apply there.
