Are will preparation programs really legal?
Answer:
Yes, but it's a big waste of time and money. Unless you're exceedingly wealthy (which if you were you wouldn't ask that question here), you can write your wishes on a napkin as long as someone sees you sign it and signs as a witness.
Yes. You can do it yourself and have 2 witnesses sign the will. That's all it takes.
Some will programs follow standard federal guidelines and are OK, but depending in the county, state where you live it may not be totally legal since it has to follow the federal, state and sometimes local laws in order to be able to held in court. If you really want to go safe spend a couple of hundredth dollars with an attorney so you can be safe or it could cost you thousands if not more if it is not done correctly. Good luck at passing away!
I know that this will sound counterintuitive, but check with an attorney. In some jurisdictions a holistic will must be written in your own hand to be legal. That means no computers, no typewriters, etc.
Yes - legalzoom is the best.
