No. You can write it without a lawyer but it may have to be witnessed and docHubd. so check your state laws as to wills and estates.
Most people believe their adult children do not require a will, until they get married or have a child of their own. However, realistically, if your adult children have any assets in their name, they should have a will.
Cost of Creating a Will Simple Will: A straightforward will, which outlines basic asset distribution and guardianship for minor children, can cost between $250 and $500 if drafted by an attorney. However, if you opt for a DIY approach using online templates or software, you might spend as little as $100.
A joint will is a single document signed by two people (typically spouses) that serves as the will for both individuals. Mutual wills are separate documents created by two people with reciprocal terms, often with an agreement that the surviving person wont change their will after the first person dies.

You can write up your own will, hire a lawyer to write a will for you, or you can use a California Statutory Will form, which is a simple will for people with relatively small estates. The California Statutory Will form lets you appoint an executor to make sure your wishes are carried out.
Also, California Wills are NEVER docHubd. You must have two witnesses sign the Will, and thats all you need. A docHubd Will does not help in any way, so save your money and skip the notary.
