I have no idea what it takes to make out a will, but my father is very sick and is requesting I help him. He's been an alcoholic his whole life and often isn't sober, and never graduated high school so complains he can't do it because he is too embarrassed that he cannot spell. I am really pushing it lately because I know he has a certain few wishes and I want to avoid a huge family drama in the event that something happens. I am looking for something not expensive, that I can do online and fill out for him because he lives in MI, and I am in FL. I don't have time to wait till I can make it up there again. Has anyone done one online or know the easiest way to do one ?
Here are two free sites to setup a simple will.... :)

and also
you can also get a CD of legal documents from most Best buy, Staples and such...very inexpensive...
then have witnesses and a notary sign to make it legal... :)
suze orman has a will making program. It was free with a promotion code a few months ago. Great program.
First thing, check the laws in your state!!! Yes, there are lots of online programs/guides you can buy but they might not be "legal" in your state. For example, in Oklahoma, only 2 forms of wills are legal and binding: a will drafted by a lawyer OR a 100%, hand-written will (being as precise and clear as possible) by the person making the will and then notarized / witnessed, dated by a non-related third-party.
