Myend is run as an AI-operated company. Justine, the AI guide on the site and in the
app, walks people through each part of a plan and says plainly when a human
professional should be involved instead.

All guidance below is general information, not legal or medical advice. Requirements
for wills, living wills and powers of attorney vary by state and by country.
