Need an Estate Lawyer?

Kansas probate and estate laws are the same in Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita. These laws are written at the state level and understood best by a local Kansas estate planning attorney. An out of state attorney is not going to be nearly as familiar with Kansas law and a criminal attorney may not be as familiar with estate law. Estate planning is an important matter and should be left to an attorney best qualified for the job.

Qualified, local attorneys are what Legal Match is best at finding. Once you fill out the form, only the ones that meet your needs will reply. Once they do you can request fees or additional information online. You can even check out their feedback online. You should only pay a personal visit to the best on your list.

While you are at your estate planners office be sure to ask about all the different ways to avoid probate. With so many legal and safe ways of avoiding probate, there is no reason to put your heirs through it. Ask about living trusts, tenancy with right of survivorship, bank accounts in joint names and the different ways of listing your business entities.

If your estate is large, you will certainly need to discus all aspects of taxes, including the estate tax, and how it might effect your beneficiaries. The last thing in the world you would want is for your estate to get chewed up by estate taxes, property taxes and past due personal taxes. There are probably many more taxes not mentioned here, that's just the world we are living in. The world full of taxes, where each and every one of them is understood by your estate planning attorney.

Hopefully you will spend some time on this site to learn about the importance of a financial plan, in conjunction with your estate plan. One thing for sure about all of these plans, you are going to need a legal form from time to time.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
