Speaking of wills, my husband and I recently had ours updated by a lawyer. A
few thoughts:

You have got to be kidding if you think using a piece of software is a better
deal than paying the measly $200 or so a lawyer will charge. Besides ensuring
that we got it done right, our lawyer gave us information we were unaware of,
such as how our life insurance policies would impact our estate and how we
should change the "ownership" of the policies from how they were currently
titled.

And we didn't even pay the $200 fee. It was a covered service in the
Montgomery Ward Legal Services Plan, which we belong to. For $9/mo we have
access to an assigned lawyer. It has worked out great for us. Each time we've
needed him, he helped in a timely, efficient manner and it didn't cost us a
cent. He resolved problems for us that we probably would have just let go if
we had to pay a consulation fee. I highly recommend this plan. I believe you
have to be a Wards credit card holder to participate.
