Is an Online Will right for you? Below are four reasons people get an Online Will:
1. Affordable. When it comes to getting a Will, cost is a big concern for many people. A lawyer may charge you $750 for a basic Will (and a lot more if your estate is complicated). But most people can get an Online Will for less than $200.
2. Easy. Online Will sites provide simple questionnaires that the average person can answer in about 30 minutes or less. With an attorney, you may have to schedule a couple of face-to face appointments to review your information and to finalize your documents.
3. Quality. Do-it-yourself online legal documents have been accepted by court and government agencies in all 50 states. Some of the most popular Online Will sites were started by attorneys – and offer high-quality, legally valid, state-specific Wills.
4. Private. Some people are uncomfortable with the idea of discussing their financial and family information with a complete stranger. Although attorneys are required to keep your discussions confidential, many prefer the anonymity of fill-in-the-blank online forms.
