No. A lawyer is not necessary but it can be helpful. Many people who hire an attorney to complete their wills or assist with other types of estate planning will have a lawyer help them to complete advance directives. If a lawyer is utilized, he/she should draft a personalized document that reflects your particular wishes and is compliant with the laws of your state.
