Here are a few factors to consider in hiring an experienced Marietta estate planning attorney:
Tailor-Made Estate Plans
You, your family, and your legacy are unique. Whether you are planning for long-term care, providing for a special needs child, or preserving your children’s inheritance, find an attorney who can craft the individualized estate planning strategy you need. Don’t go to someone who also practices business law, family law, or some other branch of law while doing estate planning on the side.
Find a lawyer who never uses a cookie-cutter approach for resolving matters of probate or Medicare planning, or resorts to using a rote formula for writing up your estate plan. The estate planning attorney should tailor each estate plan to your specific goals, whether that includes ensuring you can afford a nursing home, take care of a special needs child, protect your child’s inheritance after a divorce, and more.
Referred by others
You should see what others have to say about the lawyer. You should use one that has been referred by, at least, hundreds of people. Visit the lawyer’s website and see if hundreds or thousands of others have had great things to say about the lawyer. There is no greater way to evaluate a lawyer than what others have had to say about him or her and their services.
Attorney John P. Farrell was voted as one of the top lawyers in Cobb County, Georgia, along with the law firm, The Farrell Law Firm, PC, being voted one of the top law firms in Cobb County, Georgia.
Regularly writes or speaks about estate planning
By working with an attorney who regularly writes or speaks about estate planning, you’ll see an attorney who is on top of changes in estate planning laws. As an example, I’ve written a couple of different books on estate planning. One is tailored for a Georgia audience and is titled Estate Planning for the Modern Family: A Georgian’s guide to Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney. The other is similarly named and ranked as a # 1 new release on Amazon. Additionally, I routinely hold seminars to educate the public on important estate planning topics such as how to protect your home and family from the Probate Court.
Our mission is to ensure you have the knowledge, resources, and legal documentation needed to preserve and pass down your legacy. We will work one-on-one with you to tailor an estate planning strategy to you and your unique needs and in the future when you need to make updates or modifications. We are dedicated to helping you find peace of mind and take care of your loved ones.
About Marietta, Georgia
Marietta is a city and is the county seat of Cobb County, Georgia. In the heart of Marietta is the Marietta Square. The Marietta Square is also called Glover Park and a wide array of shops surround the park including gift shops, antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Aligning the Marietta Square is the historic Strand Theatre. The Strand Theatre is a multi-use performing arts and film center. Located just one mile off the Marietta Square is the Marietta Gone With The Wind Museum at historic Brumby Hall. The Museum celebrates the Margaret Mitchell novel and film, Gone With The Wind, with costumes, rare prints, and memorabilia. Nearby is the William Root House Museum and Garden. The William Root House offers a glimpse at the lives of an 1850s merchant and his family.
While it is uncertain where Marietta got its name, it is believed the city was named after Mary Cobb, the wife of U.S. Senator Thomas Willis Cobb. It was originally selected as the hub for the Western and Atlantic Railroad, but the hub was moved to an area now known as Atlanta. The State Legislature officially recognized Marietta on December 19, 1834.
