How Can an Estate Lawyer Help You?
When you hire an estate planning lawyer to represent you, here are some of the things they can typically help you achieve:
Wills, Trusts and Healthcare Directives
Estate lawyers can assist in the preparation of a will that accurately reflects an individual's wishes regarding the distribution of their property and assets upon death.
Probate
Estate lawyers can help with the legal process of settling an estate after someone dies. This includes navigating the probate process, including managing the distribution of assets, paying debts and taxes, and resolving disputes.
Estate Disputes
Disputes may arise between beneficiaries, executors, or other parties involved in the estate. An estate lawyer can provide representation and guidance in resolving these disputes, including negotiating settlements and representing clients in court.
Avoid Probate with a Living Trust
A living trust is your legal protection for transferring your assets into a trust during your lifetime. Your living trust supervises ownership of your property and assets for a single purpose, to hold them during your lifetime for later distribution among your heirs according to your wishes. You can choose a trustee to oversee transfer of ownership to your heirs and beneficiaries.
Differences Between a Will and a Living Trust
Both a will and a living trust recognize your instructions for how to distribute your estate, and how much each beneficiary receives. A will is processed through a lengthy court process called probate, which is a public record and can drag on for a year or more with accompanying court costs and fees. A living trust, by contrast, is private, and permits immediate transfer of the estate to your heirs. You can choose yourself, your spouse, or adult children as trustees. But it is important to have legal counsel to support your decision when considering a living trust. Your unbundled provider attorney will discuss ways you can structure your own personal living trust to best protect your wishes.

Revocable and Irrevocable Living Trusts
There are many versions of living trusts. Two of the most common are a revocable trust and an irrevocable trust. A revocable living trust, as the name suggests, means that you retain your right to change it in any way you wish, including the right to terminate it for any reason. An irrevocable living trust is permanent, but it does have important benefits, including exemption from estate taxes. Another benefit is that creditors cannot touch your assets when transferred into an irrevocable trust, even if a court judgment supports their case. You should seek legal counsel with your unbundled provider attorney to sort out which form of living trust best suits your own personal circumstances.
Protecting the Proceeds of Your Life Insurance Policy
You can also discuss how to protect the substantial cash value of life insurance benefits through a living trust. Should your life insurance policy proceeds go to your estate or to an irrevocable life insurance trust? That decision can have a major impact on your taxes. Your unbundled provider attorney will counsel you about maximize the proceeds of your life insurance policy for your family, and minimize and even possibly avoid taxes with a living trust.
Use A Living Trust Wisely
Your personal priorities for how to pass on your estate to heirs may best be protected by establishing a living trust. There are important legal considerations to help you in your decision to choose a living trust over a will. There are also important considerations that go into your choice between a revocable or an irrevocable living trust. A living trust can be your best choice to protect your estate for your heirs. State laws are different among the 50 states, so a conversation with your unbundled provider attorney is an important first step for protecting your estate and your beneficiaries.
