What’s the difference between a trust and a will?
Both a trust and a will outline how your assets are distributed, but they serve different purposes. A will takes effect after your passing and typically goes through probate, while a trust can take effect immediately, helping you manage and protect assets during your lifetime and often avoiding probate altogether. Our team can help you decide which option best fits your goals and family needs.
How do I know what I need?
Every situation is unique, so it’s normal to not know if you want a trust, a will, or something else. That’s why we start with a conversation to understand your family, assets, and goals. From there, we’ll recommend a clear, tailored plan that fits your life and priorities.
Do you help with probate?
Yes. If your loved one didn’t have an estate plan or you’re navigating probate as part of settling their affairs, our attorneys can guide you through every step with clarity and compassion. We’ll make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
How much does an estate plan cost?
We offer flat-fee estate planning packages so you’ll know the full cost upfront, with no surprises. Pricing depends on the complexity of your plan, but we’ll discuss options clearly before you begin.
How long does it take to create an estate plan?
Our streamlined process makes estate planning simple and efficient. Most plans are completed after one design meeting and a brief review, so you can finalize your documents and move forward with peace of mind.
Do I need an attorney for estate planning?
To really make sure your interests are protected, yes, most of the time we think so. Estate planning is personal - and while online services and DIY options can sound like a great alternative, in reality, you’re missing out on the full benefits of an estate plan when you don’t work with a professional.
At Ball Morse Lowe, you’ll work with a team that listens, explains clearly, and guides you with care. We combine deep legal knowledge with a thoughtful, modern approach — helping you protect what matters most with confidence and ease.
Can I request a male or female attorney to handle my divorce case?
Yes! With our large and experienced family law team at Ball Morse Lowe, you have the option to choose whether you’d prefer a male or female attorney to represent you. We’re committed to matching you with the attorney who best fits your needs and makes you feel comfortable throughout the process.
How often will my attorney communicate with me?
You should expect a communicative and responsive attorney who will actively contact you throughout your proceedings via phone call, text message, and email.
We will help you prepare for hearings, let you know about changes in your case, let you know if we need documents or other materials from you, and keep you up to date about billing.
What if I’m not sure I’m ready to get divorced?
Don't rush this important decision. If you don't feel ready and are just exploring your options, we're happy to chat with you.
If and when you feel ready, we'll be here.
