Need help finding a specialist in trusts (who can be trusted). Any advice?

My laugh for the day came when I re-read a recent question by a forum participant who needs some financial advice, but who expressed some misgivings in his/her quest for help, writing: "...there must be services that will do it, it's just that financial services are a hive of scum and villainy so we must be cautious." Very well put, I thought, and the words echo my current dilemma: I need a good specialist in trusts (financial or legal?), but how do I find someone I can trust? Thanks.

Christine44, to find an Elder Law Attorney as they do all types of Trusts, and anything else one should need, scroll down to the bottom of this page...... Click on Elder Law Attorneys...... Now find the section where you type in your City Name/State..... You should get a list of Elder Law Attorneys. That is how I found my Attorney :)

A Trust and Estate attorney in your area should be quite competent and quite trustworthy. A simple Trust is a simple thing for such an attorney. NOT without cost, to be certain. But something that is well to have done.

I would start with your local directory online for Trust and Estate Attorney. If you have anything like a neighborhood help group online either through nextdoor or facebook, a call out to your neighbors for a good attorney will help. If you have friends at work as them who they used and if they were happy with their results. Check out attorneys with your local bar assn. to check on any cases against an attorney.

I can't know the size of your area, but I have a choice of so many in my own area, and have neither with our own Trust work, nor with my brothers, and then settling his estate, had a problem with any of the attorneys. When you think of it, problems with an attorney means they could lose their licenses, and certainly they would be loathe to do THAT.
