NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook’s funeral planning platform, Eazewell, has partnered with LegalZoom to simplify the process of preparing wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents. This initiative will enable Eazewell users to efficiently create end-of-life documents through the platform’s advanced AI-driven interface, which will also streamline the onboarding experience. Donnell Beverly Jr., an Eazewell co-founder, said, “Our initiative is a game-changer.
Legal and estate planning has often felt out of reach for many families, being perceived as too complex, too expensive, or simply too intimidating. We help break down those barriers. We’re democratizing access to essential documents, such as wills, powers of attorney, and trusts, all through a seamless and user-friendly experience.
Westbrook enhances estate planning accessibility
It’s not just about convenience; it’s about giving every family the tools to plan with clarity, confidence, and dignity.”
LegalZoom’s mission is to provide affordable and accessible legal solutions to everyone. Kathy Tsitovich said, “This initiative with Eazewell is a powerful step forward, combining Eazewell’s AI-driven tools, which offer optional access to our attorney network for added assurance and compliance.
This combination empowers individuals and families to confidently plan for the future, simplifying what has historically been a complex process while ensuring they have access to the legal support they need.”
The founders’ personal experiences inspired Eazewell with the loss of loved ones. Beverly, a former NCAA National Champion at the University of Connecticut, shares that losing his parents was a life-altering experience that exposed him to outdated systems and overwhelming decisions during a time of deep grief. This led to the creation of Eazewell, aiming to address the operational challenges of the end-of-life process.
The platform offers features such as funeral home matching, automated paperwork, 24/7 AI communication, and financing options for funerals and cremations. This partnership between Eazewell and LegalZoom aims to make the estate planning process more accessible and less daunting for families during difficult times.
