The attorney that did our estate planning is retired, but If done right, you can avoid Probate, and all the fees, and hassle that goes with that! Talk to friends where you live, to find one that have used, and liked!Anyone know of a good estate attorney? My wife’s mother has about reached the end of her journey here on earth and my wife has been in charge of her finances for years. Now with the end in sight there are two siblings that are both meaner than a two headed snake and I’d like to know how we can protect ourselves from lawsuits.
