The primary purpose of the estate and trust lawyer is to ensure the final distribution of the client’s estate goes to the client’s intended beneficiaries
Estate planning attorneys, also referred to as estate law attorneys or probate attorneys are usually retained by a client to draft and prepare legal documents that will accurately reflect the client’s intent concerning the final disposition of the client’s property and estate to the client’s beneficiaries.
The estate planning attorney will also advise on how best to minimize the amount of inheritance taxes, costs, and fees to the beneficiaries.
