What Kinds Of Things Should I Consult An Attorney For Before It Happens (Marriage, Buying A House, Etc.)?
A. Certainly it is advisable to have an estate plan in place when there are minor children, but for a number of reasons, including just the unpredictability of life, an estate plan early on is a good idea for most of us. In today’s society, it may also be a good idea to consult an attorney when contemplating marriage, particularly second marriages, and especially if either party has children. We also believe strongly that our services provide the greatest value to those buying or selling property if we are consulted before you write or accept an offer. The same is true of starting a business or purchasing an ongoing one. The cost of legal assistance is far less to avoid a problem than to resolve one. Nowhere is the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” more true than here.
