About Participating Attorneys

In order to participate in our Legal Services Program, attorneys must meet the following minimum requirements:

 

1.  They must be licensed to practice law for at least 3 years.

2.  They must be a member in good standing of their state bar.

3.  They must be engaged in the practice of law on a full-time basis.

3.  They must devote a minumum of 25% of their law practice to estate planning.

4.  They must maintain malpractice insurance equal to at least $100,000 per claim and $300,000 in total.
 

In addition, attorneys must agree to provide our members and guests with:

 

1.  a 30-minute initial consultation at no cost, and

2.  a written fee agreement prior to beginning any work on behalf of a member or guest.

 

While these are minimum requirements for participation, you should know that many attorneys participating in our Legal Services Program have qualifications that far exceed these minimums.  For example, many Participating Attorneys have 20 or more years of practice as estate planning attorneys.  In addtion, many Participating Attorneys have considerable experience in other areas of the law, such as elder law, probate, real estate, family law, and litigation.
