Do it yourself wills
I wish to write one of my daughters out of our will and so does my husband. We cannot afford to have another will made. I am thinking of a do it yourself will. How legal and binding is this document and do i need to file it with the court?

Re: Do it yourself wills
Do it yourself wills can be appropriate in routine circumstances but if you want to write your daughter out of your will I would highly suggest that you consult with an attorney. Disinheriting a child properly is difficult. If not done properly it could lead to will contests and problems for your other children.
Re: Do it yourself wills
Do it yourself wills can work...sometimes. But I caution people against doing them. I would caution you in this case because disinheriting a child can be a difficult thing and an attorney can make sure it is done properly. I understand that you might not have the finances to have a will executed, especially with some of the outrageous prices that my collegues choose to charge.
I charge a low amount to do a will and offer free revisions for the life of the client. That way, if you or your husband ever choose to put your daughter in your will again it will not cost you anything. I would love to help you with this. I did not become an attorney to take advantage of people but to help them. Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation.
Have a wonderful day and a great Fourth of July.
