What to Look for in a Wills and Trusts Attorney
Here’s the thing—any attorney can write a Will, but not every attorney is your attorney. Here’s what to zero in on:
- Estate planning experience that counts: You want someone who’s handled Wills and Trusts before—lots of them. Not a rookie guessing their way through. Even drafting simple Wills is complex and is riddled with land mines.
- Plain talk: You shouldn’t need a law degree to keep up when you ask them to explain terms like “probate” or “intestate.”
- Listens like they mean it: Do they ask about your life, your goals, and your worries? A good attorney doesn’t just nod—they want to see the full picture.
- Patience for Days: Planning a Will can stir up emotions. Are they cool with you taking time to think it over? After all, you’re not a case number—you’re a person.
At Lappin Estate Planning, we check these boxes and then some. We’re not here to rush you through or drown you in terms. We’re here to sit with you, figure out what matters, and then help you develop a plan that works for you.
