What is your opinion. Is an attorney needed to make a Will or a Living Will?

Question

I need to establish a Will & a Living Will. Has anyone done this through those websites? Should I forget about the web sites and go to an attorney? The law firms are probably very expensive. Anyone have any experience with this? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Our will was done by a lawyer as i was afraid to do it on my own although from what i hear there are plenty of do it yourself wills out there. We did however, do our own living will. It was fairly simple and we just had to have it notarized.  

Answer 2

I work with attorney's quite often through my line of work.  Yes they can be expensive, yet a mistake from a person who is not as knowledgable is more expensive.    

The adage applies:  Do not be penny conscious and dollar foolish.

Answer 3

check with your local hospital.....yes hospital i got my form with my hosp through the er one night with my daughter...i filled it out...took it to a notary and had it notarized and it is 100% legal...only cost me 15.00 for the notary to sign and seal........my brother did his through legalzoom.com and i think it was like 65.00...

Answer 4

I know it costs about 300 to do it with an attorney.

I know in Canada there is a company that sells forms you can fill up yourself and get notarized...
