This area of the law is concerned with consulting clients and drafting documents which deal with the management of property and its transfer by gift or devise to others. Frequently but not always tax considerations are of significance. Always the attorney must factor into a plan the dynamics and needs of the client's family. A skilled estate planning attorney is frequently one that has engaged in many other branches of the practice of law and has considerable breadth of experience not only with the complexities of the Federal tax law but with human nature as well. A good estate planning attorney should be able to tell you about not only the legal and tax effects of what you intend, but also how your plan will play out in your family in the years to come.
