What is the name of your state? GA
I am interested in creating a Revocable Living Trust. I have some software that will create the document, but would like to know if using an attorney would be advantageous in any way. I used an attorney to create a Power of Attorney document, but noticed that they only filled in a standard form without really asking any questions and then witnessed and notarized it. Would the Trust be more complicated and thus need more legal attention or would it be just as well to do it myself? Thank you for any assistance.

Trust is somewhat more complicated and a trust attorney can review yours to make sure it is ironclad, meets with your state's trust/probate law, and can make sure it fits all of your needs. Protect your beneficiaries by making sure it is set up correctly.

Comparison should not be made on the basis of a power of attorney, since POA is a relatively simple document.
