The Pros and Cons of Do It Yourself Estate Planning Documents – This Doesn’t Sound Good

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Do It Yourself Wills Trusts and Estate Plans are in the news and are the subject of debate. Is there a right answer. Yes and No. Isn’t that just like a lawyer.

Can you really do a will on line that is valid in Pennsylvania?

Are will forms valid? Do they work to save taxes?

What if a do it yourself will is challenged?

How much do DIY wills cost?

Is a lawyer worth the extra dollars?

How about Legal Zoom? (the cost by the way was almost the same for a simple will as our lawyers from the Trust, Estate, and Wealth Preservation Section of the firm)

These and other questions are answered in my recent article on do it yourself wills and the battle raging over a Wall Street Journal reporter who used several systems. If you have ever thought about doing your own estate planning, you owe it to yourself to peruse these articles.

Why an Internet Search for “The Best” Trust, Estate, or Probate Lawyer Might Not Be “The Best.”

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

More and more consumers are using Google, local search, and internet tools to help them to find the right lawyer to help with wills, trusts, estate plans and related matters.

But, there are many reasons why searching for “the best” trust lawyer, estate attorney, or probate lawyer could actually get you the wrong information and might actually yield just the opposite of what you’re looking for. For example, many consumer’s do not know that lawyers are not even permitted to advertise that they are “the best” in any given area.

Additionally, there are no recognized specialties in wills, trusts, estates or other practice areas in Pennsylvania. So if you cannot find a Pennsylvania lawyer who “specializes in estate law” or is “an expert in estate law,” then how do you find the right lawyer for your needs?

If you want to know more about how to really find the lawyer or attorney with just the right credentials who practices in the areas of trusts, wills, estate law, and related topics, then see this short report that I just prepared for Pennsylvania residents looking for a lawyer.

Finding The Right Lawyer or Attorney and Not Just “The Best”
