If you don’t yet have an estate planning attorney, it may be because you don’t understand the many ways this professional is prepared to make life easier for you. Creating an estate plan and later administering it can be challenging. Beyond the complexities of the legal documents required, confronting the possibilities of the future can be daunting. However, if you want to make this process easier, trusting an estate planning attorney from The Millman Law Group can make things significantly smoother. Your estate planning attorney is trained in trusts, estates, taxes, property law, government benefits, and more, so they are prepared to handle all aspects of estate planning. When managing the complexities of your estate, trusting an attorney with specialized knowledge is the best way to ensure success. 

Estate Planning Attorneys Give Peace of Mind 

Your estate planning attorney is prepared to talk to you about how you want your family to be cared for when you are gone. They understand this subject’s sensitivity and know that every person has unique needs for their specific circumstances. Your Millman Law Group lawyer will listen carefully to your concerns and help you anticipate future situations you may not have thought about yet. They turn your wishes into an organized and thorough estate plan. They aim to make this process run smoothly so you can enjoy peace of mind for the rest of your life. 

Your Attorney Advises and Assists Personal Representatives 

Taking on the responsibility of administering an estate is no joke. A personal representative, also known as an “executor,” will be named in the Will. However, Florida law requires that a personal representative hire an attorney to assist them with formal administration. Your estate planning attorney will help the representative navigate the legal complexities and requirements of administering an estate. Your attorney can: 

• Locate and assume control of all estate assets
• Calculate and pay estate taxes
• Pay debts and final bills
• Open and manage the estate’s checking account
• Order property appraisals 
• Prepare and file court documents
• Make final distributions 

If you are assigned as trustee for someone else’s trust in their estate, you can also depend on your attorney to help you perform your role successfully. 

Your Attorney Can Handle the Difficult Situations 

Not all estates are straightforward, and not all families are without complications. Your estate planning attorney is skilled at navigating the relationships and conflicts that may arise when a family administers an estate. Issues may arise, such as: 

• Financial disputes
• Will contests
• Guardianship issues
• Property left to a minor
• Incomplete contracts 
• Estates don’t have enough assets to satisfy creditor’s claims 

Handling these matters on your own is not advisable or necessary when you have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney on your side.
