Probate law is a small subsection in the law that deals with the estates of decedents, their Last Wills and Testaments, other advanced directives, and the law written about estates. When a person is looking for a law firm that handles probate issues within that law firm the client will probably find planning attorneys familiar with the law, estate disputes, trust litigation, and an attorney who will provide a free consultation. Most estate planning attorneys law firm should offer you a no charge consultation. Under the law the attorney is not required to provide you with free initial consult or meeting, but most attorneys will not charge for the initial meeting with a client. An estate attorney and their law firm can assist with estate planning, an estate plan, probate, and the law. The trust between estate lawyers, estate attorneys, and their clients is essential. Creating a strong estate plan now will help avoid estate disputes, probate disputes, and keep the client within the boundaries of the law.
The law is our governing principle. The idea that you have to pay estate attorneys for the first initial meeting is just not true. There exists no law that says a law firm or their estate attorneys must charge you for a first meeting. The law allows attorneys to charge for the initial meetings but most law firms do not follow this practice. Estate lawyers can hear your estate dispute on estate administration, analyze the law and make a fee arrangement with the client. The probate consultation should be free but every law firm is different, so make sure you check the law firms processes and procedures before scheduling your meeting.
An estate planning attorney will give a no charge consultation with their law firm to help generate and create new attorney client relationships. Probate law requires trust between the attorney and the client. Estate planning, an estate plan, estate administration, estate disputes, and probate law requires estate lawyers and their law firms to provide free consultations to start attorney client relationships on the right foot. Probate estate disputes requires trust between the attorney and the client. Once the probate fee has been set, the the estate attorney and their law firm can engage in estate planning.
Estate planning involves the drafting of advanced directives with an estate attorney. An advanced directive is part of an estate plan. These advanced directives are governed by the law. Knowing the law involved with advanced directives is imperative to proper planning. Planning attorneys can provide a free consultation to determine which advanced directives under the law are best needed for your estate plan. Planning attorneys can analyze the law and apply the law to your estate plan. If further estate planning is required an attorney and the law firm can use the law to resolve and settle most estate disputes. In the limited cases where the law does not offer guidance to the attorney to settle an estate dispute, the attorney can let the Surrogate's Court judge make a decision based on the law.
An attorney who uses the law and their law firm, can craft an estate plan that will survive estate disputes under the law, and law can help an estate be free from the reach of unwanted hands. The law firm can make sure that the family is well protected under the law in the event of the death of a loved one with an estate plan that all law firms will respect and the law will uphold. An attorney who engages is estate planning must be well versed in the law and be prepared to argue the law they use to support their position.
New York State probate disputes are governed by common law and by using the existing law, an attorney can set in motion an estate plan that will survive attacks from attorneys and the law. A law firm with an inhouse estate attorney should be up-to-date with the law and offer a free consultation with their law firm and estate planning attorney to resolve the estate disputes.
However, not every law firm is equipped to handle estate planning and an estate dispute. Probate law requires a law firm you can trust to handle your issues with the law. An attorney at law, who follows the rule of law, will, in my opinion be better at resolving a dispute than an attorney who does not have the trust of his clients and does not follow the law.
