Clearly, a properly drawn will is the safest way for anyone to be sure that assets accumulated during his lifetime will be distributed according to his own instructions. Strictly speaking, anyone may create a will (as long as it subscribes to relevant state laws and is properly signed and witnessed).

Client-prepared wills can be imprecise in their language and may wind up being ruled invalid by probate court. Accordingly, most individuals are advised to seek legal assistance in this matter, especially if they have complex disposition intentions.
