An estate planning and will lawyer is knowledgeable about transferring assets after death. They collaborate with you to draft documents and devise a strategy to ensure that your assets are distributed to your intended beneficiaries without the need for costly court battles or tax bills.
Aside from planning for your death and drafting an estate and will, a lawyer can also assist you in preparing for situations where you are incapacitated and unable to care for yourself or your assets. Some lawyers, in particular, specialise in elder law, which is geared toward senior citizens.
