I have seen stationery kits and computer programs for making wills. Can I tell my friend to use one of these to make a will?

While it is possible to purchase these and make your own will, it may be worthwhile to consult a lawyer. There are strict rules about making a will that are very important to ensure that the will is valid. In addition, a lawyer may be able to design a will that takes into account possibilities that a standard form cannot. Many lawyers charge a set fee for making a fairly simple will.
