I would heed the words of our 16th President: “He who represents himself has a fool for a client." We have made changes to both our will and trusts. It typically only takes a few minutes. Our attorney Ed Soulsby doesn't charge a huge fee for changes. I want to say it was like $125 or so, well worth not screwing something up. Although he is the one that created our trusts which cost more of course, so maybe it's like a tune up? I don't know, but I wouldn't do it myself. Shop around if you don't already have an attorney.
