Lawyer in Sioux Falls

We need to update our will. Does anyone have a recommendation for a lawyer in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (our domicile state)? Or has anyone used the forms on the internet?


Thanks!
  • If you use Alternative Resources as your mail forwarding service I think Paul can recommend one. I believe he mentioned one in a newsletter once.

    I was not suggesting "roll your own" except as a last resort. The worst of all worlds is to have no will at all and have the government swoop in and take 50%.


    I've never heard of the government taking 50% of a person's estate because he died without a will. Can you explain?

  • I used one off the internet that was written by a judge to write my uncles will.
    When he passed it cost me $15k because of all the errors in it. And it would have been much more if anyone had fought me over it.
    A will is not a DIY project and it's well worth it to get it done by an attorney.
  • Hi,

    Because I ended up in hospital I made a holograph will. Date it, sign it--and have someone witness it.
