As we close in on Halloween, those who have had to deal with Trust of Probate litigation are reminded at what a nightmare it can be. Litigation often occurs when a legal challenge is brought forth against the validity or execution of a trust or estate planning document. A trust litigation attorney in Menlo Park becomes necessary when disputes arise due to the unorganized distribution of property from one generation to another.
Disputes of this nature are notably complicated. Therefore, because of the countless issues that could arise during litigation, it’s essential to find an attorney with a vast knowledge base and expertise in estate planning, probate law, and trusts.
So, how to pick a lawyer who is likely to be good at advising you regarding estate or trust?
Choosing A Lawyer For Your Will, Estate, Or Trust
Experience
Experience is precious for a lawyer. When hiring a trust planning attorney in Menlo Park, consider their years of experience in the field, especially in handling cases like yours. Additionally, make sure that the lawyer you’re hiring keeps up with the latest laws and best practices.
Field Of Practice
The saying “A Jack Of All Trades Is A Master Of None” holds true while searching for a trust litigation attorney. Look for a lawyer that practices primarily in the field of wills, trusts, and estates. This may be the most essential criteria in selecting a will, trust, and estate lawyer because the laws and best practices often change with time, and keeping up with them takes time.
Policies Of The Lawyer
The processes and policies of the lawyers vary. Therefore, make sure that the approach and policies of the lawyer you are considering are feasible for you. You can ask them a few questions:
- How long will the lawyer need to do what is required?
- How will the lawyer communicate with you?
- What will be the primary point of contact with the lawyer?
Keep in mind that there is no one-for-all correct answer to these questions. The answers should only satisfy you and your requirements.
