Estate Connection offers suggestions about the appropriate questions to ask before hiring an estate lawyer. The Information is available in their new blog post and website.
St. Albert AB: Estate Connection and Stacy Maurier are pleased to announce the release of their new blog article titled “4 Questions to Ask before Hiring an Estate Lawyer.” Estate lawyers focus their experience and knowledge of estate law. Choosing the right legal professional means asking the right questions about the expertise of the lawyer. Stacy Maurier is the author of a blog post which spells out four important questions which will help to narrow down the choice of the top legal representative.
More than just a typical lawyer-client relationship is necessary in the choice of the right estate lawyer. Trust is a key element in the relationship between the client and the legal professional. Trust has to be earned through mutual respect and skill at communication. The lawyer should have top people skills in order to communicate at the deeper level needed to approach the topic.
Creating a viable estate document is not a one-shot process. The fees should include a regular review of the legal documents in order to make any changes which are caused by changing circumstances in the lives and environment of the clients.
Communication with the estate lawyer is another factor which should be considered. Clients want to be able to reach the attorney in the event of questions, concerns, or changing circumstances. An email address alone is not enough to be comfortable that the communication is adequate. A prompt response is necessary for peace-of-mind in an emergency situation.
In some instances, it is helpful to ensure the legal professional offers guardianship and trusteeship services. Adults may need help under Alberta's Guardianship and Trusteeship Act. It helps when an adult lacks the mental capacity to make decisions about personal assets or lacks the capacity to make financial decisions. Another question to settle is about the possibility of guidance in the future, should it be needed.
