Preparing and maintaining your will doesn't have to be time consuming, difficult, or costly. Knowing that an hour of an attorney's time can cost $200 or more, many people put off preparing their last wills. However, you don't have to use the services of an attorney to create an effective will. You and the other members of your family can create your own will easily and inexpensively. You can also make changes to existing last wills with a simple codicil to will document, also available online.

Most last will and testament or codicil documents can be prepared and updated using online legal forms. When you are ready to draft or update your will, visit Rocket Lawyer, where you'll find easy-to-complete legal forms that have been reviewed by qualified legal professionals.

This article contains general legal information and does not contain legal advice. Rocket Lawyer is not a law firm or a substitute for an attorney or law firm. The law is complex and changes often. For legal advice, please ask a lawyer.
