Does a will need to be done thru a lawyer? And would it need notarized?

The quick answer is no, but legal representation is strongly advised, especially considering the relatively low cost.  A Will must be in writing and signed before 2 witnesses who must also acknowledge the same.  The best practice, is to have this all accomplished before a notary to assure the witnesses will never have to appear in court.    I trust this answers your questions, but you are welcome to call or email me on a free initial basis.     Matthew R.
