When choosing a professional to draft your will, look for someone who specialises in estate planning and is properly licensed in your area. They should have experience with situations similar to yours, explain options clearly in plain language, and take time to understand your goals and family circumstances.

Ask about their fee structure (flat fee vs. hourly), what services are included, and how they handle updates or future changes. It’s also helpful to check reviews or referrals and choose someone you feel comfortable sharing personal information with, since it can be an ongoing relationship not just a one-time document.
