About the Book:
Drafting clear, well-written documents is critical for the success of any attorney, but particularly for trusts and estates lawyers as the lawyer is speaking on behalf of their client when their client may be unable to speak for themselves due to death or disability.
Legal drafting is an ongoing process that requires attention and continuous refinement throughout your legal career. Drafting Wills, Trusts, and Other Estate Planning Documents can help you take the first steps toward improving your legal drafting skills and teach you writing habits that will result in better documents.
In addition to addressing issues of style, organization, grammar, and the appearance of the document, this book specifically teaches you how to adapt language from existing legal forms and refine it for use in your practice. The final chapter includes several estate planning documents, with annotations explaining how the author has incorporated the suggestions in this book to create clearer, more concise legal documents-and ones that still meet the needs of clients, other attorneys, and the courts.
