So what if you mess up. It is only your children who will face the dread of trying to fix your legal mistakes.

I can't wait for a posting on do-it-yourself open heart surgery! Why pay a doc when we all have sharp knives in the kitchen!
To me, it is about the cost. Comparing preparation of a legal document to open heart surgery is not an apples to apples comparison because open heart surgery is usually paid for by insurance, not the patient. But you don't say anything about the legal fee to prepare a simple document. I would be happy to pay a lawyer $200 to $250 to prepare a ladybird deed, which I would consider a reasonable fee for their time. But I wouldn't pay $10,000. I have asked several lawyers and they won't do it for $250. How much would you pay a lawyer?
