Online Wills/Living Trusts

So I had decided to use the tax refund this year to finally get a will done for my DH and I. I have not spoken with a lawyer yet, as I was thinking of just using LegalZoom. Anyone BTDT? Pros or Cons either way?

Cons - they rarely stand up in court, are often outdated and are a bad idea. (ETA: online legal things like LegalZoom)
Worth it to get a lawyer if the choices you make are really important ie. child custody.

Another advantage to a real live lawyer is that you have a legal contact in your community. I know that the lawyer that drew up the will that DH and I have is active in my community and knows most of the other lawyers in town. If we have a legal mater that is out of his relm of expertise he would know who to refer us too.

If we moved to a new area I would seriously consider coming up with a similar straighforward legal job to help develop a new relationship.
