Does anyone know how to draw up a "Last Will and Testament" without having the money for an attorney? |
Does anyone know how to draw up a "Last Will and Testament" without having the money for an attorney? A living will is better. Your kids can avoid probate. go to an office supply store and ask for a form. fill it out. Execute a holographic will through your own handwriting, put the date of execution and sign at the bottom. See to it that there are no erasures. It is a valid will without the intervention of the lawyer. You can buy cheap software that will help you create a will. Some even allow you to file it with their attorney to look it over. Look at any shop that sells software. Google a site called 'Lectric Law Library. They don't take themselves very seriously, but they do offer some serious generic legal advice. They also have a good library of generic legal forms for you to modify for your own purposes. You can buy some software that has prewritten forms and you just fill in the blanks and then you can have it witnessed or notarized at the courthouse, I bought a software disc with 500 forms on it for very little and it has most contracts and most any form you need. Not all states have the same rules. Before you go find one in the computer, you need to find out certain laws that pertain to your state, especially if you have children and assets over $50,000. you can find them for free if you search on google, all you do is fill in the blanks. Google for "Will kit"... and find one that will do a personal will. When you get the program downloaded, you'll be asked to fill in the blanks... do that, print it... make sure you're getting it signed lawfully, with signatures notarized as necessary... and make sure you leave information with a responsible person as to where they can find it, should something happen to you. Many Stationery Stores have blank Last Will & Testament forms and others such as Living Wills, Lease Agreements, Bill of Sale, etc. They cost only a few dollars. Also there are several web sites that offer downloadable legal forms for a minimal fee. A Public Defenders Office or a Legal Aid Society will be able to tell you how your State prefers then to be signed/witnessed. |
