Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

Any modification would be viewed as an unauthorized practice of law and you would be subject to any penalties should you be caught or have any issue with them. Not to mention the fact that there are subtle differences in the law from state to state which you may not be aware of. Also, most probate offices in the state will require information on the documents regarding the drafter and you might get caught that way. Moreover, just because you tell people you are not a lawyer and not giving them advice does not waive the fact that your conduct would amount to legal advice. Paralegal and support staff, who are not lawyers, have to have their work reviewed by an attorney licensed in the state in order for them to circumvent the practice rule. I would recommend that you send them to an attorney ASAP. I know you mean well and are trying to help your client, but It would just be taking on a mountain of liability should you get caught or something go wrong. I would highly recommend that you refer your client for your own safety and your client's.

I agree 100% with Joshua. The fee you might generate for this work would not come close to the liability you are assuming if you make a mistake or if a relative contests the will. And I do not think that a judge or a prosecutor would have much sympathy for you if it came to that.
