Are California Will Kits - “Do It Yourself Wills” - Legal?
Posted on | April 30, 2009 | No Comments
As a probate litigator I can tell you first hand that do-it-yourself wills are a probate attorney’s dream. Time and again I have seen the damage that self-written wills have done to honest and hardworking people that bought some stationary and tried to do it themselves. Instead of giving their money to their beneficiaries- the beneficiaries end up fighting over the vague terms of the document leading to an unneccessary loss to the estate. But don’t take my word for it- read this article to find out more about the disputes that arise over off-the-shelf wills. Honestly, I would rather you put me out of business by hiring an attorney to prepare proper documents then see the same sorry tale over and over again.
