Preparing your own will
Is preparing your own simple will and living trust valid and can it then be certified at the register of deeds?
Thank you.

Re: Preparing your own will
Wills prepared by yourself can be valid. However, an attorney generally adds value and expertise to the process. If you make a mistake, the will may not conform to your intent and if you do not understand and/or follow the statutes, the will may be executed incorrectly.
