The perfect estate plan is very personal to the individual. An experienced estate planning attorney will do more than merely print generic, one size fit all, estate planning documents. A properly prepared estate plan is one that will best achieve your estate planning goals and wishes.
Familiarity with living trusts, wills, and the Federal Gift Tax laws is a good start. However, knitting them together to create a cohesive estate plan that meets your needs is best handled by competent legal counsel.
Wealth Retention & Legacy Planning
Federal Estate Taxes and State Transfer taxes are becoming potentially dangerous to the legacy you leave behind. There is a rise in family contention and litigation regarding estates. However an estate planning attorney will guide you through the process to avoid this potentially destructive possibility.
No estate plan should assume anything about your estate and assets. Estate planning software and supposed "trust services" only provide one piece of the entire estate planning landscape and therefore only protect your estate from a few issues.
