I have had several unreturned phone calls to do a simple will. Must not be profitable. Anyone know a good honest attorney who will draw it up and keep on file and make sure it gets carried out? Single with siblings only. Thanks.

I suppose you already know but in Louisiana you don't have to have an attorney write a will for you. You can write one yourself even if it's just handwritten and not typed.

You don't have to get it notarized but if you do get a notary to put his seal on it, it will just make it a little less prone to being questioned if you experience your grand finale'.

Back to your question, I know several people who have used Laura Poche to write their will and help them with estate planning. Ms. Poche specializes in estate planning.

Here is her website

You'll want to keep an original as well. Keep it safe, but somewhere your heirs can find it. If you live at least another 10+ years a lot can happen. That attorney and/or his firm might not be around anymore when your heirs come calling for the will.

Yes, please be one of the dopes that tries drafting one of your own wills. We make way more money that way.

Eta: that was mean seriously, if you have any assets at all, go see a professional

It sounds like you are asking two different questions.

If you are planning to leave everything to your siblings in equal shares, with some survivorship clauses, then the testament should only cost you $200-$300. That is the most I would charge as it will take one hour to an hour and a half, including the initial meeting and the meeting to execute the testament.

It sounds like you are also asking for someone to "make sure it gets carried out." A succession proceeding is more expensive, though it will be paid from remaining assets after you pass. You can name an attorney for the estate in your testament, but it will not be binding on your siblings/heirs/legatees.

what state? City?
If Louisiana then use the Bar Association Referral service.
