WHY HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR ESTATE PLAN
SAFE KEEPING FOR IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS Having any will may be better than having no will, but, if your beneficiaries can’t find your will, you might as well have not written one at all. Find a safe place to store your will and make sure someone you trust knows where they can find it. If you want to start creating an estate plan, or you just have questions about where to begin, call Obiorah Fields today at (404) 698-4938, and be sure to RSVP for our Estate Planning Seminar on Nov. 16.
So, you’ve decided that it’s time to create an estate plan. The next step is deciding how you want to go about creating it. In an attempt to be frugal, many people try to create their own estate plan without the help of an attorney. While it may seem like a smart financial move, there may be more consequences than you realize associated with creating your own estate plan. Here are a few reasons to enlist the help of a skilled attorney. EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE Estate planning attorneys spend years studying law in school and practicing it at their firms. It’s easy for someone with little knowledge of estate planning law to make a mistake on their last will and testament that could lead to costly legal battles for beneficiaries. At the same time, attorneys offer not only advice but also experience guiding clients through incredibly personal decisions free of any bias as well. ‘SIMPLE WILLS’ DON’T EXIST You may think: I don’t have a huge estate or a complex financial decision, so what do I need an attorney for when I write up my will? The truth is that no one’s life is that simple, and, when disagreements over the intent of a last will and testament arise, it’s not like the writer of the will can resolve any disputes. Always assume that the distribution process after you pass away is more complicated than you think.
