Russell Westbrook-Backed AI Estate Planning Platform Partners With LegalZoom To Help Families Plan For The Future
NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook’s AI-enabled funeral planning platform Eazewell has partnered with LegalZoom to help users simplify the process of preparing wills, trusts, and estate planning documents, according to a press release.
Partnership With LegalZoom
The partnership will grant access to LegalZoom’s estate planning infrastructure, allowing end-of-life documents to be created in minutes. It will also leverage LegalZoom’s attorney network and an advanced AI-driven interface to streamline the onboarding experience.
“Our partnership with LegalZoom is a game-changer. Legal and estate planning has always felt out of reach for many families, too complex, too expensive, or simply too intimidating,” Donnell Beverly Jr., an Eazewell co-founder, told AFROTECH™ in an email interview.
Adding, “LegalZoom helps us break down those barriers. Together, we’re democratizing access to essential documents like wills, power of attorney, and trusts, all through a seamless, user-friendly experience. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about giving every family the tools to plan with clarity, confidence, and dignity.”
In a press release, LegalZoom’s Chief Partnerships Officer, Kathy Tsitovich, stated that the company’s mission is to provide affordable and accessible legal solutions to everyone.
“This partnership with Eazewell is a powerful step forward, combining Eazewell’s AI-driven tools and LegalZoom’s Estate Planning services, which offers optional access to our attorney network for added assurance and compliance,” she said. “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.”
Eazewell Features
Westbrook, alongside Beverly, a former NCAA National Champion at the University of Connecticut, and Kemba Walker, an NBA All-Star, co-founded the company, inspired by their personal experiences with the loss of a dear friend or loved one.
“Losing both of my parents was a life-altering experience. In the middle of deep grief, I was faced with confusing logistics, outdated systems, and overwhelming decisions. It became clear that the end-of-life process wasn’t just emotionally difficult; it was operationally broken. That’s where Eazewell was born,” Beverly told AFROTECH™ in an email interview.
Eazewell offers its users features such as funeral home matching, with quotes considering budget, location, and specific needs. Additional features include automated paperwork, 24/7 AI Communication, and finance options for funerals and cremations.
