We had it witnessed and notarized at the local bank and gave a
copy to all parties named in the will. We also filed a Ladybird deed at the Sumter County courthouse in Bushnell.Did the medical directive too, included in the package.

Some people may get quesy with doing that, but I was pretty comfortable and confident, so I'm pleased with the result.
Also put POA on your bank accounts so when the last of you/wife die, your beneficiary(ies) only have to bring the certified copy of death certificate to the bank for the account to be turned over to them. Also a Power of Attorney Financial with agent & alternative agent listed. See a local attorney to do that simple but powerful form.
