Choosing a estate planning lawyer
Ask whether fees are fixed or hourly, how often documents should be reviewed, and whether the lawyer also handles probate and trust administration.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a trust or is a will enough?
It depends on your assets, family situation and where you live. A trust can avoid probate in some jurisdictions; a lawyer can explain the trade-offs.
