An estate planning attorney understands the importance of making sure that your will or trust is properly worded, drafted and signed. Here are three key reasons why you should hire an estate planning lawyer to draft all your estate planning documents.
i. The complexity of the State laws
The various state laws are specific on who can and cannot be in a trust or will. These laws also dictate who can act as a trustee or personal representative and what formalities must be followed when signing a trust, will or power of attorney. Hiring an estate planning attorney from Jackson Law Firm will ease the process of coming up with a will or trust. This professional will guide you through the process and ensure that all your estate planning documents are in compliance with the State laws.
ii. Without an estate planning lawyer, you risk committing serious and costly mistakes

There is so much that is involved in coming up with an estate plan that will hold in court.
