Estate Planning — Need Attorney
I need help finding an attorney who specializes in estate planning. I am single and have no family. Its very important that I make my final arrangements with someone that I can trust.

There are several ways to find an estate planning specialist you can trust. You can always ask your bank to make a recommendation. Or you can go to www.search-attorneys.com -- the website of the estate planning bar -- to find an estate planning attorney in your state. But please don't go in blindly. I probably should write another column, but I wrote extensively about this topic in The Savage Truth on Money , which is available now at a huge discount on Amazon! (I don't promote my own stuff, so I won't even post a link!) But I urge you to read it -- and make some decisions BEFORE you consult an attorney. As a single person, you nee dto name someone as an executor, and think about who will be beneficiaries of things like your retirement plan at work, etc.
