Here's how to write a will without a lawyer: Via ForbesAdvisor

services, there’s no shortage of online will service providers on the market. Online paid services usually advertise as Estate or Trust Planning. Writing a will is typically only one of myriad services provided by companies like these, which may mean these outfits present a good choice for those looking to create powers of attorney, trusts, or other estate planning documents.

We advise only using a company like this if its work will be well-reviewed by professional attorneys to ensure documents will pass legal muster. Be sure to read customer reviews before making a commitment. Depending on the company and services desired, fees can range from a flat fee to a monthly subscription to entirely free use of online templates.

The prices of kits are comparable to or cheaper than using an online paid service, but these kits typically offer only generic wills , so if you know your estate planning is complex or you have plentiful assets, you should consider a paid service to offer you direct support.Writing a will might sound daunting, but if you have a straightforward estate, it’s surprisingly easy. You should have some familiarity with legal language before attempting to write a will.

Handwritten wills are known as “holographic wills.” Holographic wills are not accepted in every state and can easily be ruled invalid by the court. Because of this, we do not recommend handwriting the final draft of your own will.With some careful planning and preparation, it’s entirely possible to write your own will. Below is a list of the essential information you will need to include in your will.

It may also be a good idea to set aside a regular time, perhaps every other year or so, where you review your will even if no big changes have happened in your life. You may be surprised at what assets you consider important enough to describe two years in the future. Likewise, your opinions on beneficiaries and desires regarding asset division may change. At the least, it is a good way to continue thinking about the future.
