We are now living in a different state than where we drew up our will several years ago. 2 kids are now grown with partners, and for these reasons and others (see below), we think it'd be a good idea to get a new one written here in CA.
1. How does one go about shopping for an attorney that is both effective and cost-efficient? IIRC we paid around $300 for the last one but that was straightforward. We don't really know enough people here to get referrals of this sort but if that's the only way then we can try.
2. This will will (dang I wish they had called it something else) be a bit different, in that its disposition will change depending on what the children are doing at the time of it being read. Nothing too fancy but not straightforward either; suffice to say there may be unequal distribution but it depends. Someone recommended software like Quicken's Willmaker; has anyone used software rather than an attorney?
Bonus: Is it recommended to do different things with different types of accounts, eg tax-deferred vs taxable and so on?
