This is the third article in a continuing series in which I order estate planning documents from an internet document service to see their quality. When we last left our hero, I had just clicked on the link from the main page that said “Wills and Living Trusts,” which took me to a page that gave me the following options:
Oy. I understand that there is some confusion in the term “Living Will” because it has the word Will in it. But my main complaint is and will continue to be is that it lets customers choose for themselves, without any discussion, thought, or review, what they need. I like to sit down with my clients and go through all of the options and explain to them what each document does, and then discuss each one in terms of the larger picture of their estate planning.
