Not only do you have to deal with the grief of losing a family member, but you also have to figure out what to do with their possessions and finances. This is where lawyers come in – they are experts in estate planning and trust issues. Lawyers can help you create detailed living wills and trusts, execute end of life plans, protect assets from taxation, preserve inheritance rights for beneficiaries, and assist with probate or trust disputes.
