Don't misjudge what I said, though. Most people, even intelligent, well-intentioned people, could make a serious mistake when drafting an important legal document like a trust.
I'm not saying not to do it yourself, that's up to you. Just keep in mind that trust law is nearly a thousand years old, and every lawyer has been trained in the basic nuances. That's not to say they're perfect either, but there's a reason a professional license is necessary to practice law.
