Is Clarity free to use?
Clarity and Clarity materials are free to use for your own education and planning, and for assisting your friends and family with their education and planning.
Use for professional activities requires a professional license. A professional license may be free or have a license fee, depending on your use. If you are interested in using Clarity professionally, please contact us.
Why does Clarity tell me to go to a lawyer?
You are not required to use a lawyer, and some people do fine completing the legal steps discussed in Clarity without a lawyer.
When it is possible to do so, having the assistance of a lawyer can help you understand and navigate the requirements of financial and legal planning, which can sometimes be very complex. A lawyer can also be your advocate to make sure decisions and arrangements are based on YOUR needs and wishes, not anyone else’s.
