| Cost to make a will? Does anyone know about how much it cost to get a will made? Had any local lawyers prepare one? Recommendations? |

| I saw some of the on-line services. I wonder if they would hold up if challenged in court. |

| My father used a lawyer in leonardtown and for the life of me I can't remember her name. We paid under $200. We used a lawyer mainly for the peace of mind to make sure everything was exactly what he wanted.

| Estate planning lawyer, about $200 to $300 or so. I will know more when I get the bill as I am in the process of doing this now. If you are active duty military or retired military, base legal will do it for you.

| The problem with having base legal or a jag office is that if the will is ever challenged, how would you locate them to discuss intent, mental capacity, free will etc. Scott |

| I'm not a lawyer. That's why I'm having mine done by a lawyer, but as far as base legal or a JAG office....there's always one around. Not necessarily the person that drafted your will, but the office is always manned.
