Yes, I found it useful to me to get an idea as to how to draft a Will and the other thing is it can be modified to suit individual requirements.Thank you and keep up the good work.

Prior to purchasing "Simple Will" I did purchase another will form. I found this to be too open ended and lacking in instructions. FINDLEGALFORMS fulfilled my requirements. You receive a number of different document formats to chose from. I used Word. This was able to be edited and changed to suit personal requirements, without any problems. The generic form included relevant criteria to be covered which I would not have thought of without seeking legal advice. All contingencies were covered. The instructions and checklist were clearly listed without any ambiguities. I now have a sense of security that my estate will be acted upon in accordance with my wishes.
