Given the prevalence of the internet in today’s society, people often make the mistake of thinking they can save time and money by using a “DIY” Will form they find on the internet. Unfortunately, you are more likely to cost your loved ones unnecessary time and money when it comes time to probate your estate by using these forms. DIY Will forms are notorious for having mistakes, errors, and omissions that lead to protracted litigation during the probate of an estate. Given the importance of your Will, coupled with the fact that you won’t be here to correct problems that arise when it is probated, it should be clear that working with an experienced attorney is the only way to go when creating your Will.
