How do I choose my estate planning lawyer?

You should choose your attorney based on the type of estate plan you want and his level of

knowledge. For example, if you are looking for a plan that offers a lot of protection then

choose an attorney that has an asset protection background. If you want a simple trust, then

choose an attorney that focuses on simple probate avoidance trusts. Also, don’t be afraid to

ask your potential attorney questions about his trust. A good lawyer will ALWAYS be willing to

answer questions about why his trust is a good match for you. A great attorney will educate

you about a variety of trusts and allow you to make your choice even if the choice is not what

he does. Education is key. Allow the attorney to educate you over a consultation and you’ll be

able to tell if he is good!
