FAQ
What type of lawyer do you need most?
The easiest way to answer this question is to state that there are 2 types of lawyers. There are two types of lawyers: transactional lawyers or litigation lawyers. Transactional lawyers deal with contracts and business law. Litigation lawyers handle lawsuits. Specialists in both areas of law are known as generalists. One of the most prominent examples of a generalist lawyer is the "Big Law" one, who practices in large firms that handle many different types of cases. Generalists are either transactional lawyers or litigation attorneys.
Transactional lawyers handle all sorts of legal matters: divorces, wills, trusts, real estate transactions, employment agreements, etc. They often work on a basis of a contingency fee. This means that they only get paid if the client wins. The lawyer will not be paid if their client loses. Because they have to pass trials to win cases, these lawyers are sometimes called "trial attorneys".
Litigation lawyers handle lawsuits. They may represent clients in courtrooms or administrative hearings. In addition, some litigators also do transactional work. They may also draft documents for clients. A company can use litigation lawyers to defend it from a lawsuit brought in by another. Or, they can be hired by a plaintiff to sue a defendant. Some litigation lawyers specialize in personal injury claims. Others are more focused on commercial disputes. Others may practice family law.
Lawyers in litigation must be able to present evidence and argue before juries and judges. They need to know the rules of civil procedural and other aspects governing litigation. They should be able analyze and research facts. They must be skilled negotiators.

How To
How to make an estate plan with a lawyer
A will is an important legal document which determines who gets the property after you die. It contains instructions about how to pay debts and other financial obligations.
A solicitor (lawyer) should prepare a will. Two witnesses must sign it. You can choose not to have a will if you want to leave everything to someone else without restrictions on how they use the money. But this could lead to problems later on if you can't consent to medical treatment and decide where people live.
If you do no have a will the state will designate trustees to oversee your estate until you pass away. This includes paying off all your debts and giving away any property you own. The trustees can sell your home or distribute the proceeds to your beneficiaries if you do not have a will. They may also charge fees to manage your estate.
There are three main reasons to make a will. Firstly, it protects your loved ones against being left penniless. It ensures your wishes are fulfilled after you pass away. Thirdly, it makes it easier for your executor (the person appointed to fulfill your wishes).
It is important to first contact a solicitor for advice. The cost of a will depends on whether you're single, married, or widowed. As well as writing a will for you, solicitors can offer advice on many other issues such as:
-
Give gifts to your family
-
Choosing guardians for children
-
Repaying loans
-
Manage your affairs while still alive
-
Avoid probate
-
How to avoid capital gains taxes when you sell assets
-
What happens to your home when you die before you can sell it?
-
Who pays the funeral costs?
You can either write your own will or ask someone you know to help. However, if you sign a will on behalf of someone else, it cannot be changed.
