getting a will please help!

 I asked these ?'s in a Georgia newsgroup and no answers.  Need any help
fast, PLEASE!
I undergo surgery in 8 days to get the big "C" cut out of my liver;
then the fun of a transplant.  I've never had a will.  I'm married,
with only personal belongings; an old truck, motorcycle, books, etc. so
nobody will contest the will.  I THINK handwritten wills aren't
accepted in GA., and I don't want my wife to get stuck with probate,
etc.
So what is the cheapest way to write one, and do I need one?
Can someone get pre-printed forms, use a paralegal service, etc.?
I want to avoid lawyers if possible...
ANY information is appreciated!
Also, is cremation less expensive than burial?
Is a service mandatory?  How much do these things cost?

and THANKS!!   :+) Paul

if you don't want your estate distributed according to state law,
you need one.  a cheap will, however, is worth what you pay for
it.  in other words, if you want it done right, see an attorney
and pay for a will.

oh, if you own any real estate, you should have had a will long
ago.

 

Its far from clear that that wont be fine in his situation.


Mindless stuff with assets as minimal as his.


He clearly doesnt.


Depends whether the default state allocation of assets on death suit you or
not.

 We found pre-printed forms online at Office Depot.  $5 for the
cheapest, and I'll get it notarized. They go up in price, and software
is available for I think, $50.
Google searches keep resulting in "Nolo", which gets high acclaim...

Now I gotta find out what a crematorium charges!    :+)

If anybody wants to buy a Ford pickup for $2000, email us in about a
week.  It was put in a body shop to get a $750 paintjob here in
Douglasville Georgia about a week ago, and it's a good truck:

1982 Ford longbed snow (bright) white)
new clutch and transmission
6 cylinder 1-barrel, single exhaust 4 speed
engine is TOUGH - runs like a tank, mileage about 15 mpg...
my wife cannot drive a clutch, and beater trucks go for about $1200 -
will not accept less than $2000...
I also have an '81 Honda 650 that gets around 55 mpg  !!!
It runs perfectly, has a flat black tank and fenders, and a drag
exhaust - it does the 1/4 mile in about 12 seconds!   new tires, tuned
up, etc.


hey guys - thanks for taking time to help   :+)    paul

there may be other online services like this.  If your situation is pretty
standard, this should do the job.
