The legal profession has undergone major changes in the last ten years or so. And looking ahead, there are more to come. Many of these changes have been to the advantage of you, the client. Due to the supply of attorneys, there’s been greater price competition, commoditization of legal work, competition from non-traditional service providers, and flexible billing structures have changed over time and continue to evolve. Each of these factors is forcing law firms to become much more efficient by limiting overhead while increasing output. Some firms have reacted better than others.

Clients who desire to leave their family in good financial condition, without difficulties, and with family harmony intact, look to an estate planning attorney for wills or trusts. Everyone has heard of wills and trusts, however, it’s often presumed that everyone knows the basics of these important documents.
A will is a written document that is signed and witnessed, and is considered a “death” document as it only goes into effect when you die. A will provides for the division and gifting of your accounts and property at death.
A trust is a formal relationship where the trustmaker names a trusted individual (trustee) to manage accounts and property for your benefit and the benefit of others. Because the trust is effective during your lifetime, it is referred to as a “living” document.

Estate Planning is more than just planning for estate taxes. It provides for the orderly distribution of your assets upon your death. It also provides for the ability to manage your affairs in the event of a disability or incompetency while you are living.

In searching for the “right” attorney, many factors ought to inform us of the decision—experience, expertise, accessibility, responsiveness, personality, and other factors.
