Legal will online?
I came across Buildwill.com for creating a will. It cost roughly $50. Is it ok to do online will, compared to getting it done through attorney? My will is really simple, with no extra things attached. One attorney I contacted, is asking $250 for doing the will.
Please advise. (I live in CA)
