Like myself I’m sure most of you can appreciate an honest lawyer who’s going to be transparent and tell you what’s best for YOU and not what’s best for their wallet. Andrew was very honest with me when discussing the options that worked best for my family and financial situation. He didn’t pressure me, he allowed me adequate time to explain my situation, he listened attentively, and ultimately made me feel secure about a situation that was completely new territory to me. Highly recommend!

Lisa went above and beyond helping my with a living trust will after my wife was killed. We had not planned for anything to take care of our kids upon our deaths so she guided me thru the process. She looks at every detail and helps you understand what is needed.

I have used Lisa in the past as my attorney, and thought that she did such a fantastic job. I hired her again in 2020 and have been using her for the better part of the last 3+ years for issues regarding the custody agreement/child support/general well being of my son. I think it says a lot that I have been working with her for so long when it is regards to something so important to me. I trust her! She is very knowledgeable specifically pertaining to family law and custody cases and has the experience that is needed to get things done. She is punctual in responding to emails/ phone calls and has an impeccable memory. I am always amazed at the details she remembers, even from things that happened years ago. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Lisa for all of the work that you continue to do for me and my family!

We were so happy with the services that Bob Linhares and his team provided. My husband and I went to him to get a will set up. He walked us through all of the options, explaining the pros and cons of each. Ultimately, we set up a trust to protect our children and our assets. Bob and team walked us clearly through each of the steps. He answered our questions and made the entire process so easy and worry-free.

The staff at the Wilbers Law Firm are incredible! After our accident they were supportive and swift at getting us the medical attention we needed. Throughout our case, if our assigned paralegal was out for any reason, one of their team members was able to jump in and offer assistance. They clearly took good notes as evidenced by how familiar they seemed with our case. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and responsive. They fought for our settlement and ended up going after both the driver and the car’s insurance. We’re happy for our outcome and grateful someone recommended their services!

Very professional, kept me informed regarding the progress of the case. When the other party was not willing to negotiate, Ms. Costas found other options to help solve my case. I would highly recommend Ms. Costas to anyone. She would always respond to any phone calls or emails in less than a twenty four hour period. One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that Ms. Costas would reply to me herself. And through the whole process Ms. Costas stayed upbeat and positive.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Abney when he represented a family member in their divorce, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and support. From the very beginning, Jeff made the entire process as painless as possible by taking the time to thoroughly explain the legal steps involved and what to expect at each stage. His communication was outstanding. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer advice whenever it was needed. His calm demeanor and professionalism brought much-needed clarity and reassurance during a stressful time. I also appreciate his attention to detail and the care he showed in ensuring everything was handled correctly. He helped us navigate a truly difficult time in my family member's life and helped take some of the burden off us. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable attorney who truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Jeff Abney.

I gave Steve a 2500 retainer to help me with my divorce. He ended up billing me for about $2000 and then saying he didn't want to handle it and released me. I still haven't received a check even though I gave his secretary my address.

What an Estate Planning Lawyer Can Do for You

An estate planning lawyer helps individuals plan for the management and distribution of their assets after death or during incapacitation. Their services involve drafting important legal documents, such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Estate planning attorneys work to ensure that your assets are transferred according to your wishes, minimize tax liabilities, and avoid probate court. They also help clients plan for potential long-term care needs and protect their estate from being diminished by healthcare costs.

By working with an estate planning lawyer, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be cared for and that your estate will be managed efficiently and according to your desires.

  • Planning for incapacity: An estate lawyer can help draft powers of attorney and healthcare directives so that your financial and medical decisions are made by someone you trust if you become incapacitated.
  • Minimizing estate taxes: If your estate is large, a lawyer can help create strategies to reduce or eliminate federal and state estate taxes.
  • Special circumstances: If you have minor children, blended families, or complex assets like businesses, an estate planning lawyer can create tailored solutions.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: If you want to designate guardians for minor children or ensure proper care for incapacitated adults, an attorney can help.

Hiring an estate planning lawyer is especially important if your estate is complex or if you want to ensure that your wishes are properly followed.

How Are Estate Planning Lawyers Paid?

Estate planning lawyers typically charge for their services in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of your estate and the type of services you need. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: Many estate planning services, such as drafting a will or trust, are charged on a flat-fee basis. The fee covers all work related to preparing the document.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex planning, such as estate tax strategy or trust administration, lawyers may charge by the hour. Rates vary based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Retainer: Some lawyers require a retainer for more complex cases, such as ongoing trust management or estate administration. The retainer is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to avoid unexpected costs.

  • Simple wills or powers of attorney: A straightforward will or power of attorney may cost between $300 and $1,500, depending on your location and the lawyer’s experience.
  • Trust creation: Establishing a trust, such as a living trust or revocable trust, can cost between $1,000 and $3,000 or more, depending on the complexity of your assets and estate planning needs.
  • Comprehensive estate planning packages: Some lawyers offer packages that include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, which may range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the estate’s complexity.

Top Questions to Ask an Estate Planning Lawyer

Before hiring an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your needs. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:

  1. What is your experience with estate planning?
    Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience drafting wills, creating trusts, and handling other estate planning services.
  2. How will you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or by the hour and ask for a detailed estimate of costs.
  3. What strategies do you recommend for my estate?
    A good lawyer should be able to explain the best strategies for minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, and ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
  4. How often should I update my estate plan?
    Ask how frequently you should revisit your estate plan, especially if your financial situation or family dynamics change.
  5. Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
    Some lawyers provide periodic reviews or updates to ensure your estate plan stays current with changes in your circumstances or the law.
  6. How will you help my beneficiaries if something happens to me?
    Ensure the lawyer is willing to guide your heirs through the estate administration process or help manage your trust after you’re gone.

How to Check the Credibility of an Estate Planning Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible estate planning lawyer, follow these steps:

  • Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for estate planning certifications: Some lawyers are certified as estate planning specialists, which indicates they have extensive knowledge in this area of law.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews on sites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and client satisfaction.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from previous clients who can speak to their expertise and client service.
  • Check for membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) or the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) often have a strong reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:

  • List of assets and liabilities: Provide a detailed inventory of your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, and personal property, as well as any debts you may have.
  • List of beneficiaries: Be ready to discuss who you want to receive your assets and in what proportions. This includes naming guardians for minor children if applicable.
  • Existing estate documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or other relevant estate planning documents.
  • Questions about your estate goals: Write down your goals, such as avoiding probate, reducing taxes, or setting up charitable donations, so your lawyer can tailor a plan to meet your needs.
  • Information on medical and financial decision-makers: Be prepared to discuss who you want to appoint for healthcare and financial decisions if you become incapacitated.

By being well-prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and begin building a comprehensive estate plan that meets your needs and protects your loved ones.
