You have decided to start your estate planning journey. Granted, you admit that you likely should have had these conversations five or six years ago, but that is all in the past. The important thing is that you are committed now—and you and your family will undoubtedly have peace of mind moving forward. All that is left is to choose an estate planning attorney. 

Oh, wait. That feels like an even more challenging decision. And you are right—while estate planning attorneys are everywhere these days, choosing one over all the rest is a decision that should not be made hurriedly. 

Why Is Working With the Right Estate Planning Attorney So Important?

When someone is evaluating estate planning attorneys, I always pride myself on being as transparent as possible about the services we provide and what they should consider next. Whether they choose our firm or not, there are certain things I want them to look for during their search.

Here are a few of the tips I think are most important:

Choose an attorney who … 

1. Focuses solely on estate planning and elder law
2. Takes time to get to know you
3. Has ‌good‌ ‌reviews, and ‌‌other‌ ‌people‌ ‌are‌ ‌saying‌ ‌good‌ ‌things‌ ‌about‌ ‌them
4. ‌‌Belongs‌ ‌to‌ ‌professional‌ ‌organizations‌ specific to estate planning‌
5. Offers their team continuing education opportunities
6. Is willing to slow down and explain estate planning in plain language
7. Does not try to force you into products you do not need
8. Makes you feel comfortable 
9. Is committed to tailoring estate planning tools to meet your needs
