Personal Representative

I have been so pleased with Heidi and her staff. Everyone is warm, friendly, and eager to assist. Heidi blows me away. I had talked to multiple people, seeking advice on how to tackle my trust, Heidi was the ONLY one with immediate and excellent feedback. She solved several tricky items, and was well aware of all the laws and "should do's" and "cannot do's". Heidi always gave me plenty of time at each appointment and never rushed me. I feel so confident that I am in good hands with a company whose advice I can thoroughly trust! I highly, highly recommend Heidi and her firm!

If you are looking for a firm to handle your estate plan, I highly recommend Heidi Webb, Attorney at Law. She and her staff are thorough professionals. I was very impressed with the in-depth knowledge and explanations in layperson's terms. In the end I felt like I made good, informed decisions for me and for my family's future.

Can I Draft My Own Will Using Online Forms?

The Internet is a fantastic tool for so many areas of life —there’s nothing handier than Google. That said, while it’s a great information gathering tool, I do not recommend using it to find online forms to draft legal documents —any legal documents. I always, ALWAYS recommend hiring a reputable attorney in the state in which you reside to prepare legal documents, and this includes Wills.

For starters, Wills are state-specific, and generic online forms may not hit all the requirements of your state.  Further, and possibly, more importantly,  a huge misconception is that a Will will help you avoid Probate, and depending on your circumstance that may very well NOT be the case.  Not to mention a poorly drawn-up Will may not only not avoid Probate but may create a COMPLEX Probate where one did not need to happen.  By using an online will, you are forgoing legal advice that could be very helpful to your loved ones after your pass.  Wills drafted by attorneys are specific to your needs and drawn from the years of legal experience of the attorney.

In sum, I tell folks all the time it is ALWAYS cheaper to get legal advice upfront than to pay an attorney to fix things after….
