Do It Yourself Wills and Expected Challenges in Massachusetts.
Recently, I've been receiving more "death bed" calls and inquiries from those in hospitals wanting to execute a will or create a trust. Some are from dying patients wanting to memorialize their wishes. Some are from concerned family members, but some are from others with only self-serving intentions. There are times when you can help a terminally ill patient and there are times when you can't. Someone who doesn't know what they are doing or what they are signing shouldn't be making estate plans. With the number of do-it-yourself will packages readily available, however, it's foreseeable that wills will be executed when they shouldn't be. When this occurs, there are certain to be more will challenges.
