Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in South Carolina

Online Living Trust

I am on Active Duty, USAF, stationed outside my home state. I am in the process of helping my parents establish a Living Trust. Considering online $35 Living Trust Documents for South Carolina (where my parents currently reside). After I download the forms, fill them out and have everyone sign them, will I still have to pay a lawyer to review them and do something to make them a legal document - or are they a legal binding document once all parties have signed?

Thank You

Re: Online Living Trust

You are asking the wrong question and in the wrong place. Only an attorney licensed to practice law in South Carolina can provide you with legal advice. I can give you generic advice only that has no legal significance. The question you should be asking is whether this is something you can safely do yourself. Based on the level of understanding you have displayed with your question, I would advise you against it. A lawyer will probably charge you as much or more to review the terms of your living trust as they would charge to create one for you using forms with which they are already thoroughly acquainted. Legal forms are like airmen; they all have some elements in common, but they are not interchangeable.
