When it comes to making sure that your affairs are in order you need to make sure you find the right estate planning attorney. With so many attorneys available in today’s market it is important to realize that there are several factors to consider before you hire an attorney. Here are four factors that can help you find the best one for your situation.

Trust
Because the subject matter is so delicate in nature, it is important that you have a sense of trust of the lawyer that you are working with. They have to display their ability to be competent and keep your trust as they discuss your affairs and your situation.

Teacher
An additional quality that is important for any estate planning attorney to have is their ability to teach and explain difficult legal concepts in easy to understand terms. There are so many details when it comes to establishing a last will and testament and other estate planning documents. Talking about probate, power of attorney and who your executor might be are all detailed discussions. Having an attorney that can walk you through the process so that you can make informed decisions is vital.

Experience
Another quality that is important to consider is experience. You want your attorney to be someone who has the perfect blend of years in the field but also passion for the work. Many attorneys are experienced but they may be at the end of their career. Other attorneys are passionate but they just graduated law school. You want to find someone who has a balance of both. You want someone who has passion and interest in your situation but also has the experience of setting up an estate plan before.

Kindness
The last quality that you should know about is finding an estate planning attorney that is kind and personable. Planning your estate is both challenging and difficult due to the nature of the subject. Your attorney needs to be sensitive and caring enough to support you through the process of thinking about your end of life and your end of life obligations.
