Personal Representative

I recently had the pleasure of working with Heidi at Heidi S Webb Attorney at Law. Heidi was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, attentive, informative, pleasant, and especially caring. She took the time to listen and make recommendations based on my needs. Her office staff was dedicated, pleasant, compassionate, and kindhearted. I could not be more pleased with the services I received from Heidi and the professionalism of the office staff.

I highly recommend Heidi to anyone seeking guidance for Wills, Probate, Trusts, and Estate Planning. Thank you so much Heidi and I look forward to working with you in the future as needed.

I found Heidi Webb to be very professional and very thorough while preparing my will. She is very detail orientated and brought many issues to my attention so nothing was overlooked. I walked away feeling I was very well soon and would recommend her to any of my friends or family.

online forms

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….
