These forms usually fail most in the area of state specificity or if they deal with it are more expensive than just hiring a lawyer.

I retained an attorney for my wife and me and we're in the process of having a number of documents drafted. More on that later. I will also dig out the instructions I received from LegalZoom to determine what those instructions said about executing the Will. I haven’t actually executed the Will.

Did you execute the will in this fashion and was there a charge for it. For me one of the expenses of the will preparation process is use of the office and staff to ensure the documents are properly executed. Most self proving wills require two witnesses and a notorary.

That was actually my fault in not mentioning that the packet from LegalZoom did come with one, with instructions. Implicit in this comment is that attorneys should be believed over regular folks, as the attorney would be able to testify as to capacity and circumstances. As an attorney, I like to think it's true, but in reality I'm not sure that such an assumption holds up or should even be presumed.
