re: Good attorney in baton rouge for simple will.

I'm not knocking notaries, but drafting a valid will that does what the person wants it to do is really beyond their skill set. Lawyers and notaries alike both make mistakes, but one is specifically educated on how to do this and held to a much higher standard. You may save 2 or 300, but in terms of value, I would say the attorney will is definitely worth the minimal extra cost. In another state, I'm sure a notary could easily draft an effective will. But LA laws are so particular on what constitutes a valid will, I wouldn't let anybody else other than attorney do it (or just handwrite it).
