More about Estate Planning in general:

Estate planning is closely related to Family Law, as it involves providing for your family both after death and during your lifetime. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your family is provide for own care through powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, Trusts, and Wills.

Through a Trust you can provide for your children for decades after your death if necessary. You can provide for a child with special needs and prevent from the government taking what you leave for their care.

More about Probate in general:

Probate is technically the legal process by which a will and similar documents are proven valid or invalid. It is a tricky process, and often an emotional one that needs the cool eye of an experienced professional.
