As long as a Will has satisfied all the requirements set forth by the state in which your live or the state in which you sign the Will, the Will is valid, no state has made having a lawyer draft the document be a requirement of a valid Will. The problem, of course, is that unless you are an Estate Planning Attorney, you likely do not know what is required to make a valid Will or Trust. A lawyer that focuses exclusively on Wills and Trusts can help make sure your wishes are followed after your death.
