An estate planning lawyer helps you make the decisions about what happens to you, your kids, and your stuff.

The lawyer drafts the documents to ensure that your wishes comply with the law and are written in a way that clearly explains your decisions. There are many complexities and there are different ways that word choice can impact what happens.

An estate planning attorney often asks questions that you wouldn’t think to ask yourself – or that you would rather not ask yourself – but that help clarify your wishes. For example, what happens if someone you are relying on predeceases you? What if you forget to update your documents? Do you have a backup plan? Does someone get a gift outright or does it stay in trust? What does that even mean?

An estate planning lawyer helps you navigate the questions — and answers — that are involved in estate planning. We are experts. And just as you rely on a car mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem, you should rely on an estate planning attorney to help you get where you need to go — especially when it involves your loved ones and your loved things.
