WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR ESTATE PLANNING AND ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

Your family is not perfect. And I do not mean that to be rude because, if we are being honest here, no one’s family is perfect. Whether it is two siblings who cannot get along, a grumpy uncle with wadded up money buried in his backyard, or a nephew who is bad with money, there is always that one person or situation you would like to pretend does not exist.

But they do exist, and those factors need to be addressed when it comes to your estate planning needs.



One of the things I do in every seminar is say point-blank that most families are dysfunctional - because I want to make sure that when people come to see us, they are not embarrassed by their family situation. I want people to feel comfortable talking about their family dynamic because if they are not, we cannot address those problems when the estate plan is put together.
