Why is LegalZoom not the answer in your Estate and Business Planning Needs?
When preparing your Trust and Estate Planning and/or business planning documents, it is critical to understand that there is more involved than just creating paper and filings. Proper estate and trust planning or business and tax planning requires detailed and in-depth education, analysis and understanding. The strategy and options you choose is just as important as the documents themselves. Legal documents such as health care powers of attorney, trusts, last wills and testament, and limited liability company filings have many options and result in consequences both from an asset protection and tax benefit point of view. Legal document preparer companies such as LegalZoom, charge only for creation of boiler-plate documents without any analysis, understanding or concern for the consequences of the choices made in the preparation of these documents. LegalZoom is not the answer in your estate and business planning needs. We emphasize the fact of the critical importance to meet with each client and review yours goals and teach you of your options and consequences of the choices before proceeding forward with drafting of any trust and estate planning or business planning, such as limited liability companies.
