So what exactly is an estate planning attorney?

• An estate planning attorney is someone who
  will handle all the legal issues that come after
  death. Death is an unfortunate thing, but
  planning while youre still alive is a must-do if
  you want to ensure that the right people handle
  your estate. An estate can be anything from your
  house, your assets, and so on. There are even
  legal issues regarding how you as a person will
  be handled medically if you become ill and cannot
  speak for yourself.

So do I really need an estate planning attorney?

• Estate planning may seem like an easy thing
  to do but when it comes to state laws such as in
  Bradenton, Florida, things can be a little
  tricky. State laws govern what is allowed and not
  in a will, trust or financial power of attorney.
  These laws also specify who can witness the
  documents and what formalities must be followed
  when they are signed. Most of the time, it is up
  to the state to decide who can serve as a
  trustee, personal representative, health care
  surrogate, or attorney-in-fact.

• A Florida personal representative must be
  either related to you through blood, marriage or
  be qualified under state law. A state resident
  must also be present at the time you die.
• Many people try to place representatives in
  the absence of this law. These non-residents or
  non-relatives cannot serve in Florida.
• It is important to work with an estate
  planning attorney who is qualified. This will
  help you avoid making costly mistakes like these.
