Hiring the correct lawyer to draft your last will and testament is very important. Many people think that a DIY online will is as good as one drafted by an attorney. In reality, you do not know if this last will and testament has been drafted properly, has been signed correctly, and if it disposes of your property how you wish. It is much cheaper and much easier to use an estate planning attorney to ensure it is done correctly.
In addition, a properly drafted last will and testament will do more than simply identify who you want to inherit your estate. Your last will and testament can also name guardians for your children, identify whether you want to be cremated or buried, name who you want to be in charge of collecting assets and paying creditors, and plan for many scenarios where your intended beneficiaries do not outlive you.
