What is a Wills and Trusts Attorney?

A wills and trusts attorney is a legal professional who specializes in estate planning, which involves creating a plan for the distribution of a person’s assets after their death. A wills and trusts attorney can help clients create a will, establish a trust, and make other legal arrangements that will protect their assets and ensure their wishes are carried out.

A wills and trusts attorney can help clients with the following:

1. Creating a will: A wills and trusts attorney can help clients create a legally valid will that outlines how their assets will be distributed after their death. They can also help clients choose an executor, who will be responsible for carrying out the terms of the will.
2. Establishing a trust: A wills and trusts attorney can help clients create a trust, which is a legal arrangement in which a trustee holds and manages assets for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries. Trusts can be used to avoid probate, minimize taxes, and protect assets from creditors and other legal claims.
3. Estate planning: A wills and trusts attorney can help clients create a comprehensive estate plan that includes wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other legal arrangements that will protect their assets and ensure their wishes are carried out.
4. Probate: A wills and trusts attorney can represent clients in probate court, which is the legal process of settling a person’s estate after their death. They can help ensure that the terms of the will are carried out and that the assets are distributed according to the deceased person’s wishes.
