- Pick a lawyer who focuses on estate planning and probate, not a generalist who dabbles.
- Confirm they're licensed and in good standing with the state bar, and ask how long they've practiced near Carson City.
- Ask whether wills and trusts are flat-fee and what that covers (funding the trust, revisions, directives).
- Ask who actually does the work — the attorney, a paralegal, or a form service — and who you'll call with questions.
- For probate, ask about the realistic timeline and total cost for a Carson City-area estate before you engage.

- Is this a flat fee or hourly, and what exactly does it cover?

- Will you help fund the trust and store the documents?

- Who will handle my file day to day?
