​

1. Personalized Welcome and Introduction

Your estate plan consultation will typically begin with a warm welcome by our experienced estate planning attorney at Loutos Law. This initial introduction is designed to put you at ease and create a comfortable environment for open discussion.

​

2. Getting to Know You

Before diving into the legal aspects, your attorney will take the time to get to know you personally. Expect questions about your family, assets, financial goals, and any specific concerns or wishes you may have regarding your estate plan. This step is essential to ensure that your plan is customized to your unique circumstances.

​

3. Review of Current Documents (if applicable)

If you already have estate planning documents, such as a will or trust, your attorney will review them during the consultation. This review helps identify any potential gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated provisions that may need to be addressed in your updated estate plan.

​

4. Discussion of Your Objectives and Goals

Your attorney will engage in a comprehensive discussion to understand your estate planning objectives and goals. Whether it's protecting your assets, providing for your family's future, minimizing taxes, or ensuring healthcare decisions align with your wishes, this conversation is essential to tailor your plan accordingly.

​

5. Explaining Legal Options

Once your attorney has a clear understanding of your goals, they will explain the legal options available to you. This may include:

  • Drafting a Last Will and Testament

  • Establishing a Revocable or Irrevocable Trust

  • Creating Advance Healthcare Directives and Powers of Attorney

  • Designating Beneficiaries for Assets

  • Discussing Guardianship for Minor Children (if applicable)
     

6. Guidance on Asset Protection

If asset protection is a concern, your attorney will provide guidance on strategies to safeguard your assets from potential creditors or lawsuits. This could involve setting up specific trusts or legal structures.
 

7. Reviewing Beneficiary Designations

Beneficiary designations on insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other financial assets are crucial components of your estate plan. Your attorney will review and help you update these designations as needed.
 

8. Clarification of Fees and Costs

Transparency is essential in the estate planning process. Your attorney will provide a clear explanation of the fees associated with the services you require. At Loutos Law, our consultation fee is $250.00, which is applied to the cost of services if you choose to proceed. If you do not select services or if the attorney (or firm) declines representation, the fee is nonrefundable. 

​

9. Q&A and Addressing Concerns

Your consultation is a prime opportunity to ask any questions or voice concerns you may have. Your attorney will address these with clarity and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions.

​

10. Next Steps

At the conclusion of your estate plan consultation, your attorney will outline the next steps in the process. This may include gathering additional information, drafting documents, and setting up follow-up appointments as necessary.

​
