FAQ
What makes a will legal?The will must be signed by at least two witnesses. The witnesses must watch you sign the will, though they don't need to read it. Your witnesses, in most states, must be people who won't inherit anything under the will.
What is a will? A will is simply a legal document in which you, the testator, declare who will manage your estate after you die. Your estate can consist of big, expensive things such as a vacation home but also small items that might hold sentimental value such as photographs.
Decide what to include in your will. Be specific about where all of your stuff goes. Select your beneficiaries. Choose an executor for your will. Name guardians for your children. Sign your will in front of witnesses. Let everyone know beforehand. Store your will in a legacy drawer.
Drafting the will yourself is less costly and may put you out about $150 or less. Depending on your situation, expect to pay anywhere between $300 and $1,000 to hire a lawyer for your will. While do-it-yourself will kits may save you time and money, writing your will with a lawyer ensures it will be error-free.
