Is a will written on forms from the Internet legal in Wisconsin?

We have a will that is 12 years old that needs to be updated to include a stepchild. Can we use online forms to change this will?

You can prepare your own will. The requirements are set out in Section 853.03 of the Wisconsin statutes.
(http://tinyurl.com/yjpzohg) The issue is whether the will that you prepare will be best suited to your situation. I encourage you to get the adivce of a competent estate planning attorney. The value of the counsel that you will get will be well worth the fee.
