Many people are involved in do it yourself projects. Often when you think of this, redoing a home comes to mind. Sometimes it works out quite well and other times everything falls apart and you need to call in a handyman or even a contractor. The concern with the contractor is that they are not truly licensed. It happend to me. The man produced a license that looked legitimate. He did an almost good job except for some shower plumbing. After he was gone I tried to find him. He had disappeared. I contacted the contractor board who couldn’t find him either although they had other complaints. What happend to me is that he didn’t fix the plumbing in the shower and it leaked out of the wall into the master bedroom. Fortunately, I knew a licensed plumber who repaired it with my son assisting. Years ago when my late husband and I owned rental property, I actually did many do it yourself projects. This included laying down tile flooring which at that time was peel and stick, painting, cleaning, etc. It worked out well. He never had those skills. Today, however there is also a new type of do it yourself in the legal field. People are doing their own Wills, Trusts, Deeds and even Affidavits of Death. Often in spite of the software and reviews by the companies, it is wrong. It is dangerous to be cheap with legal documents. The do it yourself fad may prove to be costly to families once a person passes. Mistakes can make it difficult, require attorney’s fees, court times, motions and other legal forms that will have to be paid for. There are also companies that offer these services at a very low price. I have seen the documents and frankly, they are horriffic. Life is full of ups and downs with all types of issues with a muriad of problems. Using the best possible sources is only logical for anything that might have problems down the road, don’t you agree?
