Hiring An Estate Planning Lawyer: Is It Worth It?

It’s understandable to want to cut costs wherever possible in your life. In today’s information age, with so many do-it-yourself options online, it can be tempting to tackle estate planning on your own. However, attempting a do-it-yourself estate plan is rarely a good idea. Here’s why:

  • Estate planning is complicated. It involves much more than paperwork. A good estate plan requires a comprehensive strategy that weighs the pros and cons of the various estate planning tools. An attorney can help you analyze those options and make informed decisions. They can ensure that nothing gets overlooked and that there are no ambiguities for heirs or beneficiaries to fight over.
  • A cookie-cutter approach may not work for you. It’s impossible to craft a carefully tailored estate plan using a one-size-fits-all approach. You will likely end up with an estate plan that doesn’t fit your needs or accomplish your goals. By working with an estate planning lawyer, you can ensure that you have a thorough plan, complete with all the legal tools necessary for effectuating your wishes.
  • A misstep could cause major headaches and expenses down the road. Nobody wants to leave a legacy of confusion or conflict. A poorly crafted estate plan opens the door to costly court proceedings and disputes. What’s more, mistakes in your estate plan could undermine what you set out to accomplish.

As you can see, it is well worth it to work with an estate planning professional.
