Do You Need a Lawyer for Estate Planning?
Many people turn to DIY wills or online estate planning tools, thinking they’re simple and affordable. But these quick fixes often leave out crucial protections, like guardianship designations, healthcare directives, or proper trust funding. When those gaps appear, families are forced into court battles, unexpected taxes, or painful delays. Working with an experienced estate planning attorney ensures your plan actually works when your loved ones need it most.
