Stupid-Simple-No-Nonsense Washington Wills

Us lawyers aren’t great at putting things in simple terms. Here is my best attempt at a long story short:

Most people in Washington State can get by with a Stupid-Simple-No-Nonsense Will. I make them. I charge $400 for a single person and $800 for a married couple.

A Stupid-Simple-No-Nonsense Will is probably a good option for you if:

(1) You have less than $2.193 million in net worth.

(2) You don’t own property outside of Washington State.

(3) You don’t care if your will becomes a public record through probate.

(4) You aren’t concerned about the people who inherit your stuff getting disqualified from Medicaid because of their inheritance.

(5) You don’t need your will to create special trusts, like a pet trust or a trust for kids.

A Stupid-Simple-No-Nonsense Will provides for:

(1) Where your stuff goes when you’re gone.

(2) Who is nominated as the guardian of minor children when you’re gone.

That’s it. It’s that simple.

How do you get a Stupid-Simple-No-Nonsense Will?

(1) You book a 15-minute consultation.

(2) You have the consultation and confirm the Stupid-Simple-No-Nonsense Will is right for you.

(3) You pay the rest of your fee.

(4) You’re sent a will with instructions on how to fill it out.

(5) You send a digital copy back to ensure it was done correctly.

What’s the difference between doing that and using some random form off the internet?

That’s simple too: (1) You’ll get to talk to an attorney about your specific situation to make sure you’re getting what you need and (2) you’ll know you actually did it correctly. That way, your heirs won’t have to learn a hard lesson on your behalf after you’re already gone.
