Delta only pays for the will, which is great, but it shouldn't cost much to complete the remainder of the documents. If you are married, your wife needs them, too. If you have minor children, a trust will be needed.

If you are doing this for you parents, consult with NAELA.org, the National Association of Eldercare Attorneys. I used them to find an attorney for my parents out of state. I looked like a hero to my family when my mother passed and my incapacitated father needed care. It was worth every penny and more to have made the effort to find a specialist.

For myself, I did not take advantage of Delta's service. Rather, I used Hurley Elder Care Law in Atlanta. In and out in a jiffy. Everything was done to my satisfaction. I did have to pay for the will, but I got all of the other stuff done, too.
