An estate is the total property owned by an individual. Estate planning is the process of arranging for transfer of assets in the event of the individual's death. Lawyers who specialize in estate planning are called estate planning attorneys. Such attorneys can advise you in all aspects of estate planning, such as living trusts, wills, gift tax, asset protection planning, property distribution, and compliance laws. Finding a reputable lawyer is key. Ask family and friends for recommendations on a qualified estate planning attorney. Next, try the many online attorney directories by performing a simple zip code search. On other sites, you can provide your specific need, such as probate lawyers, select a geographic area, and get listings for all such attorneys in your city or town. Some attorneys will even provide free case evaluation services.
