Is There a National Association of Trust Lawyers?

When you are interested in hiring trust lawyers, you want to make sure that the attorney who you hire to help you has qualifications, skills and abilities necessary to provide top-notch legal services.  Trusts are used for extremely important purposes, including the protection of assets and the protection of heirs who will inherit money or property.  You do not want to make any mistakes when it comes to creating and funding your trust, so you need a legal professional who has the knowledge, insight, and background necessary to offer you solid legal advice and to make sure your trusts are legally valid.  trust lawyers

Eghrari Wealth Training Law Firm in Smithtown NY provides legal representation with trusts and estates to clients in Smithtown and in surrounding areas. Our trusted firm has a strong reputation for offering high quality client services, and our attorneys have decades of collective experience in the estate planning business. We know trust laws and we understand what is involved in creating a solid estate plan to protect your future.

Determining whether an attorney is qualified to provide you with assistance or not can be a challenge, especially if you haven’t hired a lawyer before or are not certain about qualifications to look for. As a result, many people wonder if there are national associations of trust lawyers where they can turn to find out if an attorney is qualified or not. The good news is, there are multiple professional organizations that attorneys who work within the fields of trusts and estates can be a part of.

National Associations for Trust Lawyers

When you are looking for trust lawyers, membership in professional organizations shows that the attorney has experience within their particular field or area of specialization.  Membership in professional organizations also demonstrates that an attorney is serious about building professional ties, becoming a leader within the legal field, and staying up to date on the latest developments in the law which can affect clients.

There are several national organizations which attorneys can  be members of in order to stay up to date on trust law.  Two of these organizations include:

  • The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys, which is described as: “the premier national organization promoting excellence in estate planning by providing its exclusive membership of attorneys with up-to-date research, educational materials, and other vital practice management techniques.”
  • The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, Inc., which is described as: “the premier provider of legal advocacy, guidance and services to Elder Law and Special Needs Legal community.”

It is beneficial for potential clients to look for trust lawyers who are members of these professional organizations so they can count on the fact their attorneys are dedicated members of their professions with a focus on the specific field of estate planning.

When you create trusts, these trusts are often intended to help prevent the assessment of estate taxes; to shield assets from being counted when determining if you can get Medicaid to pay for nursing home care; and to ensure that assets are not lost or misspent when an heir inherits them.  The importance of these trusts cannot be understated. A mistake could result in your assets being lost, in heirs not getting the money they need, or in a special needs relative being disqualified from government benefits because of a generous gift that you intended to leave.

When the stakes are so high, there is no room for error- especially since any problems would likely not be discovered until it was too late and the assets or benefits are already lost.  Hiring a qualified attorney with membership in national associations for trust lawyers means that you will be represented by a lawyer with a proven track record and a commitment to the profession.  Attorneys at Eghrari Wealth Training Law Firm are members of these professional organizations and we have demonstrated our commitment within the estate planning field.
