General practice law covers many
different areas and within those areas there are many
specialist. One general practice area is estate planning for
wills, trusts and proxies, but not every lawyer could do a
comprehensive will that suits your needs. For instance, if you
have children, stocks, a business, real estate and an ex-spouse
you wouldn't want to talk to your real estate lawyer about
setting up you estate planning due to the many facets within
each area. Putting together trusts is a specialty within general
practice law.
Legal forms are
another general practice area that many people find they
need help with. Filling out tax documents for your business or
looking over a contract are things that most lawyers can help
you with regardless of their specialty as long as it's not in
depth. The bottom line is that you shouldn't trust an important
matter with a lawyer who is only generally familiar with that
area of law.
