Looking for a lawyer to do a Last Will in or near Shortsville, NY.

While an in-office consultation is often preferred by many clients, if it is difficult to find an attorney who is close by, it is certainly possible to use an out-of-town attorney to prepare a last will and testament with a telephone consultation and exchange of information by telephone, fax, email or regular mail. The important part of the consultation is for the attorney to understand the scope of the client's assets and wishes, and educate and inform the client about all their choices, and draft a will that will ensure that the client's wishes are effectuated.  The will must be properly witnessed and executed and while it is certainly preferrable to do this in an attorney's office, it is not necessary.  A legally valid last will and testament that reflects your wishes can be prepared by an attorney who is located in a remote location, and then executed close to you (even in your home) under the instructions of the attorney, before a notary public, with two witnesses.
