2. Why do I need to hire an attorney to draft a will when I can find a form one myself on the internet?
For many people, the creation of a Will is one of only a few times in their life that they will ever use the services of an attorney. This is because everything involved is very personal to them, so want it to be clear to their heirs exactly what they want done with their assets if anything were to happen to them.
Once completed, Wills tend to be put away for safekeeping, and people usually assume that everything in the document says exactly what they want to say, without even knowing of the legal formalities. The problem is that if there is a problem with the structure or wording of the document, the error may not be caught until it's too late, and the document may be unenforceable in court, or simply unclear as to what the testator intended.
