The appeal of online will-making services is understandable — they are fast, cheap, and convenient. But for Maryland residents, relying on a generic online template can create serious legal problems that may not surface until it is too late for anyone to fix them.
The Problem with One-Size-Fits-All Templates
Maryland has specific requirements for will execution, including proper witnessing. Many online templates do not account for Maryland-specific rules, potentially invalidating the entire document. They also cannot address complex situations like blended families, business succession, tax planning, or special needs. A local estate planning attorney understands Maryland law and your community.
