QOTD: Do you have a will? If not, have you even thought about it? If you do have one, who did you go through to get it and how much did it cost you?
Stacia: We have not written a will, but we plan on doing it soon. We don't have a lawyer (haven't needed one), but we'll probably use the same guy our in-laws use. Don't know how much it will cost, but with a new family member on the way, it will be worth it!

We've had wills since we got married but we need to update to include the baby. We still need to settle on a guardian, which we haven't totally solidified yet.?
BTW, most people without significant or complex assets can do a simple will form you can buy on-line. Most simple wills will pass your assets to your spouse and then your children. You just need to make sure it is state specific and that you follow the instructions. For instance, in Florida, you can't have a handwritten will. ?
EDIT: I also wanted to add that if you leave anything to your child (even as a beneficiary of life insurance), most states will require a guardianship be set up and the court has to approve all expenditures. Something to think about.?

Yes, both DH and I have wills. We had them done a few years ago, shortly after we were married. We need to get them updated, though.
Another one of the "perks" of the military is that we get free legal services, including wills, powers of attorney, etc. Since DH was required to get a will before he deployed the first time, I figured I'd go ahead and get one, too. Glad I did! We're one step ahead of the game.

Yes I have one. I need to go back through it and change some things. It cost me nothing. I got a sample from my lawyer's office and typed it up myself just changing what needed to be changed. DH's will on the other hand cost us because it specified that in the event of his death, permanent sole custody of his kids from his 1st marriage goes to me not their biological mother who is not allowed contact with them. I can't remember the exact amount but I want to say it was just under a grand-but there was alot of legal specialties that had to go into that.
