Montana Estate Planning Attorney

Is avoiding the Montana probate system with your estate important to you? There are many legal ways to avoid probate such as trusts and joint tenancy with right of survivorship deeds. Montana has it's own set of laws that deal with estates and probate. These laws are understood completely by Montana estate planning attorneys.

Need an Estate Lawyer?

Yes, an estate planning attorney can show you how your estate can avoid probate court. By doing so you may save your heirs large amounts of time and money. If you have ever had to hire an attorney to get an estate through probate you know what I mean. It can take up to a year, or longer, and cost thousands in legal fees. If you have been left in a situation where a family member has died intestate, without a will, settling the estate could be a long expensive process.

Once a person has died you have no choice but to go through the system. While you are alive is the time to make the important decisions that will effect your beneficiaries when you pass away. Will they all need to hire lawyers and meet in probate court? There are far better alternatives but you must take action. You must make an appointment with a Montana estate planning attorney and get started.

If all you need is a will your attorney should tell you so. Maybe you need to rename your bank accounts or possibly change the way your real estate deeds are named. Your attorney should look at all the different ways taxes might effect your estate, during your life and as it passes to your heirs. If you are afraid of family members fighting over your property when you are gone let your attorney show you the tricks of having your belongings pass uncontested.

Since Montana laws are unique, unlike any other state, a local attorney is a better choice than your cousins attorney in Kansas. And since estate law is not at all like criminal law an estate lawyer is the best choice. So, you are looking for a Montana estate planning attorney. Maybe Legal Match can help find one near your home in Billings, Missoula, Great Falls or places in between.

In the midst of all of this financial and legal stuff you may need a form or two. No need to drive half way across Montana to get it, use Legal Zoom, at home in your night cloths. Whenever you get a form and fill it out on your own, be sure and have it checked out by your Montana estate planning attorney.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
