Lawyer recommendation for Will or Trust
 
Looking for recommendations for a lawyer to prepare a will for me, or if I should just do it myself.

Thanks

I wouldn't do it myself.

$300. That was for a simple will.

The problem of doing it yourself is you do not know what you do not know. I can see doing one to learn from the exercise but then go to an attorney with a list of what you want.

Check cost of updates. Was charged almost 50% of original trust cost for a one paragraph boiler plate change and 5 min notarizing the update.

I did it myself. No issues. Just paperwork if simple. Online tools readily available. If your situation is complicated get legal advice. Likely not inexpensive. At least you will have someone to sue if it is faulty,

Don’t overlook updates. It’s not static. You might pay multiple times,

Don’t forget the tax planning aspect.

Absolutely correct. Google degrees only cover common knowledge, and never expertise from education and professional experience
