An estate planning attorney is a legal professional who helps individuals and families plan for the distribution of their assets both during their lifetime and upon their passing, while considering certain factors such as tax implications and complicated family situations. This includes preparing documents such as wills, trusts and other legal instruments designed to protect a client’s wealth, minimize tax liabilities and ensure their wishes are carried out.
