not a bad idea. It is certainly better than nothing. However, if you look at any of my articles you will notice that I see flaws in using such software. You pay an attorney not as a drafter of documents but because of the attorney's guidance and his experience in dealing with people that have a similar situation as you do. In some cases, having a will is enough. In some cases, it is not enough. Is your will software package going to advise you about all of the issues involved in a will or what each part means, etc....? Not likely.

How about using a will software package?

Hello, Anonymous. My name is Anthony Carducci and I am an estate planning attorney. Obviously, I am also a member of this site. If you search this website, you might find some articles that I have written in the not too distant past dealing with wills, how to choose guardians for your kids and similar topics. It would be my pleasure to answer any questions that you might have regarding wills, trusts, probate, protecting your kids and family, etc.... So, let's take this one step at a time since we do not know each other yet. Give me a call at 410-693-7323 for a no obligation, no cost telephone consultation. Nothing is off limits. Even if you and I never work together, you will at least get your initial questions answered.

This is on my list to do this month, so I have NOT met with him yet, but Ed Marin was recommended to us by both my father and my financial planners.

We live in Rockville and need to do our will for the first time. Any recommendations in and around the area? Thanks!
