Alabama Estate Law Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an estate planning attorney in Huntsville, Alabama?

While some basic documents can be created online, an estate planning attorney helps ensure your plan is legally valid under Alabama law, tailored to your assets, and structured to avoid unnecessary probate issues. Working with a Huntsville estate planning attorney also ensures your documents reflect local court requirements and current state law.

How much does estate planning cost in Huntsville?

Estate planning costs vary depending on complexity. At Pylant Estate Law, will-based estate plans typically range from a few hundred dollars, while trust-based plans cost more. During a consultation, we explain options clearly so clients understand both cost and value upfront.

How long does probate take in Alabama?

Most probate cases in Alabama take a minimum of six months due to creditor notice requirements. More complex estates or disputes can take longer. A probate attorney can help keep the process moving efficiently and avoid unnecessary delays.

Do all estates have to go through probate?

No. Many estates can avoid probate through proper planning, such as living trusts, beneficiary designations, or jointly owned property. An estate planning attorney can review your situation and recommend strategies to minimize or avoid probate where appropriate.

What should I bring to an estate planning or probate consultation?

Clients typically bring a general list of assets, existing estate documents (if any), and questions about their goals. Even if you’re unsure what to bring, a consultation can help clarify next steps.

Do you serve clients outside of Huntsville?

Yes. Pylant Estate Law serves clients throughout Huntsville, Madison, Athens, Decatur, and Guntersville, as well as surrounding areas in North Alabama. We routinely assist individuals and families with estate planning, probate, and estate litigation matters across these communities.

TESTIMONIALS

What Clients Say...

Will and his team are amazing. They helped my Mom get her will, trust, and POA done. They carefully explained everything to her and were very quick in getting everything ready and filed. He is also very fair in his pricing. Other places wanted to charge almost double. I highly recommend using them if you need an estate lawyer.

Everyone should know three important things about Pylant Estate Law: they're professional, provide excellent customer service, and are KIND. Will Pylant made navigating complicated decisions manageable for us. We appreciated his time and willingness to help us do what's best for our family.

Will Pylant provided me with professional, positive guidance and support when dealing with a troublesome landlord situation. He took the time to answer my questions and responded to my correspondence quickly and efficiently. I was happy with the outcome as well as the guidance. I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Pylant assisted me in completing a new "Will" and establishing a "Living Will" and Power of Attorney. I found him to be personable and professional. He made the process easy and precise and provided answers to all of my questions related to these very personal matters.

My husband and I recently worked with Mr. Pylant to draw up estate planning documents. He was knowledgeable, answered any questions we had, and drew up the documents very efficiently. The consultation and signing meetings were very thorough but efficient. We were extremely pleased and highly recommend him.

I have been to Will twice now. The first was for a consultation on an elder law matter. He impressed me so much that my husband and I went back for our estate planning. Will and the others at the office were very efficient and pleasant to deal with. We recommend him without reservation!
