Thanks for the information on the DIY Will. You reminded me of something I was taught many years ago which made sense then as it does now. If you need a plumber you call one, if you need an electrician you call one same goes as an attorney. Thanks again you could have and more than likly did save my family some problems down the road.

Hi Vicki,
I suggest that you consult with an attorney licensed in your state that helps people draft wills, since I do not know where you are or what you have. If you do try to do a will on your own, you will want to make sure that it will be valid and enforceable in your state. Your state’s bar association may have free consumer pamphlets that explain what is required. I have been involved in quite a bit of litigation regarding who gets the right to the person’s remains, so I would suggest having an attorney do a simple will, which should be inexpensive, and including instructions about burial, funeral, social networking, or any other last wishes you may have, so that there is no question or dispute about it when you are gone.
Thanks,
Lesly C. Longa

Just found this article because I’m trying to decide whether to buy some software or not. I do not have, by any stretch of the imagination, an “estate”. If I dropped dead tomorrow, there really won’t be any MONEY to speak of, and I don’t have children. Basically, I’d like something legal to say, I want this niece to have my scrapbooks, this sister to have my jewelry, this nephew to have the weird abstract painting I did that he claims he really ‘loves’. Do I really need to see an attorney for that?

I think it’s fine to draft the will and then take it to an attorney, especially if the kit is free. Otherwise, it may not save you either time or money. At the very least it will get you thinking about how you want things handled, and what you want your will or trust to accomplish. Tomorrow’s post will be on living wills, and I will include a link to a free Florida form. Thanks for your question!

Thanks for the article. Is it worthwhile to use a kit to draft what you are looking for, then take it to an attorney? It seems like it would save sone time, and help you anticipate the questions the lawyer will ask.

Thanks!

I think that’s a great point, Neil. Thanks for your comment!
