Is it necessary to have a lawyer to write your wil?

Answer 1

It might be if you don't trust anyone else to handle your wishes in your will. There might be less problems if a lawyer handles your will, then if it was just a family member, this may cause a family feud and they might end up at a lawyers office anyway. Use your own discretion.

Answer 2

Not always, but it is absolutely necessary to have a lawyer write your will if you want to make absolutely sure your instructions are carried out. After all, you aren't going to be around to make sure that it's done. If your will is declared invalid by the state, they will automatically do what they think is best (through the auspices of an executor) and will charge you exorbitant fees for the privilege of doing so. Whether or not a lawyer has to be used is up to your state law.

Answer 3

not at all.,
You can write your own. It must be witnesse,but an be written without a lawyer being involved.
The only problem might be, if someone thiks he should receive more than he does, he might contest the will. But this could happen anyway.

Answer 4

Check out the legal form section in your local Office Depot. I think they have pre-written wills that only require you to fill in the blanks. You will have to have it notarized and recorded to be valid.

Answer 5

No. You can write your own living will. You will need a witness or perhaps two. And have your will notarized to be legal.
