My Trainer Thinks All His Mom Needs Is A Simple Will

Introduction

So, I joined a new gym and am working with a personal trainer. During any workout trainers and clients always shoot the breeze and somehow it came out that I was an estate planning attorney. So, Tom asked “Can I have a card my mom needs a simple will?” I replied that I doubt that is what his mom, or anyone needs. But. this is a common mistaken belief, and worthy of an article. This mistaken belief is why those flocking to cheap online will and trust drafting services are missing the boat. It is also why even many people working with an attorney are getting less than then need. Sales pitch for more estate planning work? Nope, just common sense (as you will see) that is not so common.
