Top Estate Planning Services Firms & Attorneys

For an owner, the estate plan decides who controls the company after death or incapacity and how much of its value survives estate tax. Estate planning services, usually provided by attorneys, prepare wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney and healthcare directives, and for business owners coordinate buy-sell agreements, succession plans, gifting of shares and trusts that hold business interests.

When comparing the estate planning firms here, look for attorneys focused on estate and tax work in your state, experience with closely held businesses, and how they coordinate with your accountant and financial adviser.

Hiring Estate Planning Services companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What estate planning attorneys prepare

The core documents are a will, a revocable living trust to avoid probate, durable powers of attorney for finances, healthcare directives and guardianship nominations for children. Larger estates add irrevocable trusts, life insurance trusts, gifting strategies, and charitable vehicles to manage estate and gift tax.

For business owners, the plan covers who inherits and who controls the company. Attorneys draft or review buy-sell agreements funded by insurance, recapitalize entities into voting and non-voting interests, transfer shares to trusts or family partnerships, and coordinate succession with the operating agreement. Asset protection planning and Medicaid planning address other risks.

The process runs from an intake meeting and asset inventory to a design meeting, document drafting, signing with witnesses and notary, and funding the trust by retitling assets. Plans should be reviewed after births, deaths, divorces, sales or moves.

Estate Planning Services FAQs

Question not covered? Ask our team

Estate planning services include wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, guardianship designations and beneficiary reviews. For business owners, they also cover buy-sell agreements, succession planning, share transfers to trusts and estate tax strategies.

Most attorneys charge flat fees for packages and hourly rates for complex tax and business work. Cost grows with estate size, entities and tax planning needs. Most firms on this page set no minimum or a minimum of $1,000, and some start at $5,000, $25,000 or $100,000.

Without a plan, ownership of a company can pass through probate to heirs who cannot run it, and estate tax may force a sale. A plan names successors, funds buy-outs through buy-sell agreements, moves shares efficiently and keeps the business operating during incapacity.

Estate planning happens during life and arranges how assets pass, often through trusts that avoid probate. Probate services happen after death, when a court supervises proving a will, paying debts and distributing assets. Good planning reduces the probate work heirs face.

Estate planning firms listed here most often describe their work as legal services and also serve business services owners, real estate investors, financial services clients, medical professionals and manufacturers. Real estate investors often need trusts or entities for properties in several states.

The estate planning firms on this page are listed most often in Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Toronto and Calgary. Estate and trust law varies by state and province, so hire an attorney licensed where you live and where your real estate sits.
