As an Estate Planning Attorney with over 30 years of experience, I can tell you, all lawyers and financial advisors are not created equal. Trusting your legacy to people who are not specialists in the field, such as, real estate, business law, divorce law and legal generalists, or answering questions online and having an internet firm send you back a generic financial or estate plan, are sure fire ways to have them declared invalid; ending up with an estate plan that didn’t work.
Lawyers speak legalese, financial advisors speak financialese. They speak too fast, don’t ask the right questions, don’t provide you with the information you need to know to make an informed decision. Learn how to select the right advisor for you and your family.
