A Will is one of the best ways of making sure your legacy is passed on to your beneficiaries. Without a document like a Will providing for the legal transfer of your assets, the court takes over and decides who gets what.

What Is A Will?

A Will is a legal document that specifies how you’d like your assets distributed upon death. The owner of the Will is called the testator. You should have a Will that is valid under the State of YOUR RESIDENCE. Although there are no rules against drawing up a Will on your own, there are many pitfalls of drafting a Will yourself, and you won’t be around to answer any questions or error in expression. If your homemade Will is invalid, the PROBATE COURT will determine (following state guidelines) who will handle your affairs (whether a family member or a stranger) and how your assets will be divided.

Do-It-Yourself Will Mishaps

Do-It-Yourself Wills are easy, inexpensive, and prone to errors. Homemade Wills are form-based applications where the testator fills in the blank. Usually, these applications leave very little room for explanation, and the results can be confusing. Usually, the cost of hiring a qualified attorney to help you create a will is a VERY SMALL COST compared to the benefit you receive from having a lawyer’s assistance.
