If you prepare a Will on your own, you risk overlooking state statutes that must be met to make a Will legal and enforceable. Remember that, while relatively basic, the seemingly conventional language is vital, valuable, and dependent on your specific circumstances. Furthermore, a skilled estate planning attorney understands all the small details and will guarantee that nothing is left unattended.
Hiring an estate planning attorney gives you a chance to utilize their years of knowledge and experience. During your appointment, the attorney will also be able to advise you on the best strategy to achieve your objectives, especially if you have complicated family dynamics. They also have the technical abilities required to guarantee that all necessary documents are completed.
Creating a Will on your own requires extensive research, appropriate templates, time, and legal assistance, which only an attorney can provide. When you hire an attorney to design your Will, you will not only save time, but you will also be seeking the assistance of someone who has all the answers to the difficult process of making a Will, as well as any other estate planning documents that can protect you and your family.
Without a Will, the Illinois Probate Code determines who will receive your assets, which may or may not represent your preferences. It is crucial to create a valid Will and to ensure it is properly validated and enforced. It is critical to hire an attorney with probate and estate planning knowledge.
