There are now several DIY Will creation websites. I recently took a look at one - Willing.com.
Willing.com allows you, without paying, to answer their questionnaire and see what the content of your Will would provide. You then can pay and they will add the signature page so that you can print out the document and then take it to get notarized and witnessed.
It seems that most DIY will creation websites market to parents with minor kids.
There are two major things that parents with minor kids want to accomplish with their estate plan:
(1) They want to name guardians for their minor children; and (2) They want to provide that their young children's inheritance will be held in a trust so that it does not get dumped into their child's lap on their 18th birthday.
The software appears to me that parents are not permitted to have their minor children's inheritance managed for them beyond their 18th birthday. This is not what parents want. Parents of young children typically want the children's inheritance to go into a trust to be managed until the children reach the age of 25, for example, but have it available prior to age 25 for education and other needs.
