Do You Need a Living Trust?
A person who wants to reduce the tax burden on assets, keep control of property, and avoid probate, may do so by forming a living trust, which is formed while the person is alive. The living trust also establishes how assets are to be managed after death or in case of incapacitation.
A Lawyer Can Help With Your Living Trust
Different types of living trusts exist and have advantages and disadvantages. Determining which type is best suited to you can be confusing. To ensure your living trust accomplishes what you want it to do, the advice and experience of an Owensboro living trust lawyer is advantageous.
How an Attorney Can Help
An attorney can often resolve your particular legal issue faster and better than trying to do it alone. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal system, while avoiding costly mistakes or procedural errors. You should seek out an attorney whose practice focuses on the area of law most relevant to your issue.
Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer
- What is the usual process to resolve my case? How long will it take to resolve this?
- What are likely outcomes of a case like mine? What should I expect?
An experienced lawyer should be able to communicate a basic “road map” on how to proceed. The lawyer should be able to walk you through the anticipated process, key considerations, and potential pitfalls to avoid. Once you’ve laid out the facts of your situation to the lawyer, he/she should be able to frame expectations and likely scenarios to help you understand your legal issue.
Does firm size matter?
For most consumer legal issues, the size of the practice is much less important than the experience, competence, and reputation of the attorney(s) handling your case. Among the most important factors when choosing an attorney are your comfort level with the attorney or practice and the attorney’s track record in bringing about quick, successful resolutions to cases similar to yours.
