Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Wills

I have no idea what you mean by "will packages." If you mean buying a form, don't. Situations with blended families are far too complex for forms and unless you want to start family feuds and expensive legal disputes, a better choice is to meet with a lawyer, get his advice and draw up proper documents. (As a general rule, it is a very bad idea to have two executors serving together). If you're near metro Atlanta, you can get a free will worksheet on my webpage www.glenashman.com, complete it, and call me for an appointment. A will is generally very inexpensive, so not only does using forms not save much money, but it can prove very costly later.

Re: Wills

Most lawyers do not deal in packages. As legal counselors, attorneys are qualified to tailor an estate plan that is designed to give you the assurance that your wishes regarding disposition of your assets must, and will be carried out after your death. There is no substitution for the peace of mind that your collaboration with an experienced estate planning attorney will bring. Furthermore, the money that you might save by trying to purchase a do-it-yourself will plan, could cost your beneficiaries a great deal after your death.

Re: Wills

Ask friends, family or trusted co-workers for a recommendation for a local attorney who specializes in this area. You'll need changes in time, and perhaps additional estate planning later on.
