A good Financial Planner will also strongly recommend having a legal will. Why build wealth without having a plan to distribute it after your demise?

A question I've always had is:

Is it necessary to have a lawyer draft you will? Assuming there isn't anything to far out of the ordinary, could one get by with a software "fill in the blank" solution?

I'd guess that a will drafted by a lawyer would be specific to a client and possibly have better clarity when the will is executed. However, there seems to be resistance to visiting a lawyer for a will based on a cost benefit perception.

Unfortunately, you're not around when you need a Will the most.
