[quote=acarducci]Just for argument sake, let's say that you are right (even though you are not) about points 3-7 being misleading, the other points are good reasons alone to use an attorney. As to points 3-7, they are all verifiable so I encourage anyone that takes issue with them to look them up rather than just come on here and post that they don't accept them. Simple questions:

1. What happens to your kids if you and your spouse die and there are no reachable family members that can get the kids within an hour or so? Of course the police will call in CPS for the safety and well-being of the kids. My point here is that naming guardians in your will is not enough unless they are local and possibly that might not even be enough. As a lawyer, I do something extra to handle this.

2. Why do you think that it will not take 9 months to go through probate? Technically, no distribution of assets is supposed to be made until probate is complete. Sure, some of the assets can be used on the kids during this time, but the body of the assets will not get dispersed for at least 9 months even in a drama-free situation. What happens if your creditors or disgruntled family members fight over your kids and assets? In that situation, it will not take 9 months. It will take years. There are ways to avoid probate entirely, but not if all you have is a will.

3. Call the Register of wills in DC or in your particular county in Maryland/Virginia and ask them about probate. They will tell you that once probate is open an individual can go down to the courthouse and see what has been filed. You can even see some of this stuff online.

Trust me when I tell that these matters are verifiable. To the original poster of this thread, I am still more than willing to sit down with you and talk about these issues in a no-obligation manner.
