FAQ 1
How long does it take to do a will?
3
That depends on your circumstances. Some people
wrongly believe that a will can be completed in
ten minutes, other people think it should take
days to write up a will.
4
I have never completed a will in ten minutes, but
typically do not take much more than a few hours
to review a clients circumstances and draft an
appropriate will.

FAQ 2
Should your executor be a relative?
6
In many, or even most cases, this is appropriate.
In some cases, it makes sense to pick an executor
who is not a relative. Factors such as closeness
(both geographical and emotional) to the
relative, the competence of the relative, the
level of difficulty of the estate, and the
likelihood of family disputes will determine
whether a relative should be used.

FAQ 3
Can I write my will in my own handwriting?
8
Technically, yes. I however, do not recommend
this approach. A so-called holographic will (one
that is handwritten) is more likely to have
problems than one that is prepared with the
assistance of a lawyer.
