FAQ's

 Would you have your regular doctor do your heart surgery? Sounds like  a stupid question right? However, the same could be said for choosing  the right attorney for your estate planning. Unfortunately, the legal  profession does not have specialties like the Medical profession. You  have to guess whether your attorney is qualified to guide you on your  estate planning options.

It seems every brochure or letter you receive from your bank,  financial advisor, or brokerage firm asks if you have done your “estate  plan.” The fact is, your bank, financial advisor or brokerage firm can  only help you with the financial planning aspects of  your estate. You need a qualified estate planning attorney to draft the  legal documents that create an estate plan for you. A qualified estate  planning attorney will work with your financial advisor and accountant  to create the best plan for you.

While general attorneys may have some knowledge of the law and be  able to guide you through certain parts of the estate planning process,  they will not be aware of the many exceptions and details an attorney  whose practice focuses on estate planning will know.

An attorney who does traffic court one day, divorce on another,  business law on the third day and sues for personal injury on the  fourth, will not have the experience and knowledge of the loopholes as  an attorney who practices in estate planning. If you’re looking for a  divorce, find an attorney who focuses on divorce. If you want estate  planning, utilize an attorney who focuses on estate planning.
