How much does it cost to create a will and how easy is it ?

Hello everyone,

This question is for the folks who have wills, or know how to create wills…

I have done some searching online but would like to know a little more

Questions:

How much generally does it take to create a will ? I am on the West Coast in California…..

I have researched online, but the prices vary…

I know some people create wills online…... is there a difference in doing so? Creating a will online versus in real person with a lawyer?

I do want to create a will, but at the least amount possible (since I am still rather young…..... but I’d rather be safe than sorry and make sure my family is taken care of…)

Can I create a will on my own? If I sign my name, date it, etc? Anf give copies to my family and have it notarized? Will this still hold in court? Or do I need an actual legalized will to be considered?

I am a young female in my 20’s…... never married (yet) and I don’t have any children…. (yet)...... I want to put my mom and my sister on the will.

Even though I know I am young, I still want to make sure…

Thanks
