The #1 misconception is : a Will must be written by a lawyer. The requirements of a valid Will are set out in the Wills Act and it is not a requirement that a will must be done by a lawyer. Some even think that a will must be stamped and sealed before it is a valid will.

In fact, anyone of us can write our own will following the requirement and format provided in books, journeys or website. The only concern is : What if our situation is slightly more complicated than what the template can offer? In this case, you need to speak with someone with some practical experience to provide you an opinion. Always seek advice when you are in doubt.
