Technical expertise and practical advice
An attorney who specializes in estate planning can help evaluate the best estate planning tools for your situation and your goals. If you are unsure about what certain documents do or who to appoint for certain positions, an attorney can help by providing explanations and advice based on years of experience in the field. Then, he or she can help make sure all the legal requirements are met, so you can be confident your documents are valid.
Every individual should choose the process that he or she feels most comfortable with. However, it is important to consider all the possible effects of your estate plan, not just the potential to save money up front. Although online DIY estate planning documents may be growing in popularity, they are not the best choice for every situation.
