MYWILLPROS.COM COMBINES THE CONVENIENCE AND PRICE OF ONLINE WILL SITES WITH THE PROTECTION OF A LOCAL ATTORNEY

Rochester, NY, May 6, 2009-- Dangers of Creating a Will On-Line, Without the Help of an Attorney Inspires a Newer, Safer Option... MyWillPros.com

Over the past few years, the internet has provided consumers with a faster, easier, and cheaper approach to purchasing nearly anything. From computers to clothing, from school supplies to sports cars, there is no limit to what is available on the World Wide Web. While the benefits of shopping on-line are enormous, there are some products and services which, when purchased on-line, could present enormous risks. Namely, wills, trusts and other legal documents. While creating one of these documents on-line is fast, convenient and inexpensive, there is no guarantee as to their legality or validity. That is until now. MyWillPros.com is making strides at taking the risk out of on-line will creation.

"We formed MyWillPros.com when we realized just how many Americans were creating their wills online." Says Eric Blazak, President of MyWillPros.com. "Simply put, these important documents should not be created without the input of an experienced attorney. It is essentially the same thing as diagnosing your own illness without an examination from a physician."

According to Blazak, an attorney from Rochester, New York, while wills and other such legal documents are abundantly available on-line, the chances of improper execution, mistakes and misunderstandings are enormous when a lawyer is not in the mix. "If a will is not executed properly, it won't be seen as valid in court if it is contested." Explained Blazak. "Until now, the contesting of a will has been a rare occurrence in America, largely because of attorneys. With the recent increase of wills created on-line, without the help of attorneys, will contests will become more and more common, and if a court finds that a will is invalid, it's simply thrown out and the state decides the fate of the deceased's estate, and worse yet, the fate of the deceased's children."

Apparently there's a reason why on-line will sites all disclaim that they are not to be considered a replacement for actual legal advice from an attorney.

This concern is the reason why Blazak started MyWillPros.com. "MyWillPros.com is a safe alternative for busy Americans who ultimately wish to protect their families." Blazak says. "As a father, husband, little-league coach and full-time career man, I know how difficult it is to find the time to get the necessary things in life done." Blazak insists that creating a will is one of those things. "I understand that time is valuable and that it takes time to find a good lawyer. It takes time to visit your lawyer. It takes time that most of us generally don't have. MyWillPros.com saves time, saves money and most importantly, helps our customers to attain legally sound instruments."

MyWillPros.com, like other legal document sites, allows customers to create a will, living trust, power of attorney or health care directive from the comfort of their homes or offices, when it is convenient for them. It's the next part of the process that separates MyWillPros.com from the pack. Once a customer finishes creating a document on-line, he or she is then paired with an attorney from the same city or town, whom is pre-screened by MyWillPros.com for excellence and experience. The customer may speak with their new attorney in person, on the phone, or via web-cam, whichever is most convenient for the customer. "Not only do you get the convenience which comes with creating a will on-line," says Blazak, "you get an experienced attorney in your home town who will go over the document with you, making sure all of your wishes are correctly documented and will then make sure that it is executed properly, ensuring that the will is valid in the eyes of the court,"

MyWillPros.com will launch its website in June in Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee. "We picked these two cities because of the demographic. Both cities have a high percentage of young families with children in the household," said Blazak. "We're targeting young parents because it is essential that they create a valid will for their children's sakes. Even if they have few assets to speak of, a will is the only way to assign guardianship to your children. I think all of these parents realize they need a will, yet the majority of them don't have one. Time, or lack there of, is of course one of the culprits. It is our hope that MyWillPros.com can help make the creation of these vitally important documents much safer, affordable, and easy."
