What type of estate planning do I need?

Estate planning requirements are very specific, right down to who can and can’t be a witness to your will or trust. It is a growing trend these days is to use forms found on the Internet or to buy a do-it-yourself estate planning book from a store. But because the particulars are different from state to state, there is a good chance that your estate plan won’t be followed because your will or trust isn’t legally valid if you try to do it yourself.
