Estate documents
Start with what already exists.
Estate and family matters can be document-heavy. A useful first consultation is easier when the basic records are gathered without trying to make legal conclusions yourself.
1
Identity and relationship documents
Gather the documents that identify the people and relationships relevant to the matter.
2
Existing wills, trusts or agreements
Bring the documents already in place, even if you are unsure whether they remain effective.
3
Asset and liability information
For estates and planning, prepare a practical overview of known assets, debts and key financial arrangements.
