Southfield Estate Planning Attorney Prevents Family Fighting After Death
An estate planning attorney states that the death of someone, particularly in Michigan; who is close and dear to you, can be a stressful time that is mixed with agony. Your life is disrupted by your loss and grief. It is often a confusing time, both emotionally and logistically. In fact, it is not impossible that even a responsible family fights over property and estate assets after a loved one dies.
A Dominant Characteristic
In an article that is recently published, "Advising the Trust or Estate Litigant: When to Raise or Fold"; an attorney from Chicago IL, Howard M. Helsinger, points out that the estate and trust litigation is so often carried out in the context of grief, mourning, guilt, jealousy and anger. These indicate that irrationality may be a dominant characteristic. All estate planning attorneys who advise with regard to such circumstances should avail an opportunity to temper these distortions, confusions and emotional conditions. However, realistically speaking, some of these lawyers are not even prepared to represent clients who are in such irregular state of mind.
Unprepared for the Inevitable
At a recent Mega Conference, the famous Southfield attorney and probate litigator was asked why these circumstances arise. This estate planning attorney remarked that the clients often have uncertainty regarding the process after death, as majority of them is not prepared for the inevitable. In this case, it is an unpredictable matter. Can anything get worse than this?
What is more, most genuine wills and trusts lawyers never litigate cases so they are not well prepared with the nuances of litigation; settlement of cases; and trying of will contests, joint bank accounts and a host of other types of trust and will contests.
Three Strategies Estate Planning Attorneys Should Know
Atty. Joseph J. Dadich, the Southfield estate planning attorney and wills and trusts lawyer, further explained that the irony is that most; if not all Southfield, MI attorneys as well as probate litigators; do not have enough reference to estate planning or the probate process. He went on to affirm that there are three strategies any estate planning attorneys should know:
1.Never receive or accept any benefits from a loved one"s trust or write a will until talking with an attorney.
2.Secure all bank statements (including joint bank accounts) as well as any collectibles.
3.Determine who the personal representative is, or trustee of a trust.
