The Potential Cost of a Discount Will

Websites that permit you to create DIY wills are not law firms. They are not legally permitted to review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. 

There are Many situations that can cause property to be distributed in ways other than that which had been intended when the will was written. Examples include changes in family such as births, deaths, divorces, adoptions, marriages, etc. Those changes also don’t necessarily need to directly involve the individual making the will either. Changes can have far-reaching, and often times negative effects on a hastily written estate plan or a plan that is not tailored to your individual needs. 

While the price may be enticing, often times these documents cause more problems than they solve. If you’re serious about wanting to plan for the unexpected and protect your loved ones, then it’s worth your time and money to work with an attorney.

So if you’re not sure if your will is working for you, reach out to my office at tmckeethen@evvlawyer.com or (812) 319-3026 and we’ll figure it out together.
