Choosing an Attorney for your Estate Planning
Only an estate planning attorney who regularly practices in the fields of wills, trusts, probate and estate
planning is able to provide you with really sound legal advice as you put your estate plan into place.
Estate planning attorneys are subject to regulation by state bar organizations, many of which have continuing
education requirements and mandatory liability insurance in case the lawyer makes a mistake. When you speak with
an estate planning attorney, you can get answers to your questions --including how much it would cost. Often the expense
incurred in retaining an estate planning attorney to prepare and help you put an estate plan into place is worth hundreds
of times what you and your family would pay with no planning or poor planning. It would also avoid the financial and
emotional nightmares that can occur with a poorly drafted (or improper) plan.
