What is the distinction between a transactional attorney and a lawsuit lawyer?

Transactional lawyers deal primarily with contracts, real estate transactions, business formation, intellectual property issues, etc. Litigation attorneys focus on disputes involving corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, insurance claims, personal injury cases, etc.
Both types of attorney require different knowledge and skills for each case.

A litigation lawyer must be familiarized with the rules regarding evidence, discovery and statutes of limitations.

How To
How to make your will with a lawyer
A will is an important legal document which determines who gets the property after you die. It also contains instructions on how to pay off debts and other financial obligations.
A solicitor (lawyer) should prepare a will. Two witnesses must sign it. You can decide not to have a Will if you don't want any restrictions on who the money goes to. But this could lead to problems later on if you can't consent to medical treatment and decide where people live.
If you do not have a will, the state will appoint trustees to manage your estate until you die. This includes paying off all debts and donating any property. The trustees will then sell your house and divide the proceeds between your beneficiaries if there is not a will. The trustees will charge you a fee to administer your estate.
There are three main reasons you should make a will. It protects your loved-ones from being left in financial ruin. It also ensures that your wishes will be carried out even after your death. It also makes it easier to designate an executor (person who will carry out your wishes).
To discuss your options, the first step is to reach out to a solicitor. The cost of a will varies depending on whether you are single, married, or widowed. In addition to writing a will, solicitors can advise you on other matters such as:
-
Gifts to family members
-
Choose guardians for your children
-
Repaying loans
-
You can manage your affairs even though you are still alive
-
Avoiding probate
-
How to avoid capital gains Tax when selling assets
-
What happens to your house if you pass away before it is sold?
-
Who pays for funeral costs
You can either write your will yourself or ask a friend or relative to help. However, if you sign a will on behalf of someone else, it cannot be changed.
