Attorney-Client Relationship
No attorney-client relationship is created between you and Budget Estate Planning or its attorneys by viewing this website, by completing our online form, or by contacting our attorneys. Only after Budget Estate Planning confirms in writing that it has accepted you as a client is an attorney-client relationship formed.
Budget Estate Planning often represents plaintiffs on a contingent basis, advancing the court costs and expenses of the litigation and obtaining its fees and reimbursement of costs and expenses from any recovery. If litigation is not successful, Budget Estate Planning does not hold the client responsible for any fees, costs, or expenses.
No Guarantee of Results
The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. The outcome of each legal case depends upon many factors, including the facts of the case, and no attorney can guarantee a positive result in any particular case.
Budget Estate Planning and its attorneys make no guarantees, warranties, or predictions about the outcome of your legal case.
We also make no representations that the quality of legal work to be performed is greater than the quality of legal work performed by other lawyers. Our prior results, including successful judgments and settlements, do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Practice of Law
Budget Estate Planning’s attorneys are admitted to practice in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.
How do I know which plan is right for me?
It depends on the assets you have and what level of protection you’re seeking.
Our Power of Attorney Plan benefits everyone. Having Powers of Attorney in place is essential. It protects you from a court-appointed guardianship and ensures someone you trust can help you when you need it.
Our Will Plan is often a good choice if you’d like to ensure your assets are distributed per your wishes. However, the Will Plan will likely necessitate that your loved ones open a probate matter with the court after you pass, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Probate can be avoided with other types of estate planning.
Our Trust Plan offers the most robust protection, and it’s ideal for people who own real property, like a house. Choosing the Trust Plan will ensure your loved ones avoid the probate process and that the estate distributions fulfill your goals.
If you’re still unsure, send us an email or call us at (509) 798-7448. We’re happy to help.
How long does it take to create estate planning documents?
Creating the documents can take up to a month for our team, but the time you will actively spend on it should be less than 4 hours.
What are the benefits of estate planning?
With proper estate planning, you can establish a variety of protections for yourself and your loved ones:
- You can protect yourself from a court-appointed guardianship.
- You can assign someone to care for your minor children if you suddenly pass away.
- You can ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
- You can prevent your loved ones from having to endure a probate matter with the court, saving them money, time, and stress during an already challenging time.
No matter what life throws your way, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you have a plan in place, and your loved ones will thank you for taking the time to prepare a roadmap of your wishes.
What do I need to do after I become a client?
After you choose your plan, provide payment, and sign your contract, there are only a few steps you’ll need to take:
- Complete your questionnaire.
- Meet with your attorney to clarify details regarding your questionnaire and go over any questions you may have.
- Review drafts of your estate planning documents.
- Meet with your attorney to sign your documents, answer any final questions, and finalize your plan.
Then, your future and your family’s future are secured!
