Only Funded Trusts Truly Protect

At what point is an attorney’s job done?
In estate planning, that line is blurry. You draft, you sign, you instruct, but if the trust never gets funded, does the client really have protection?

There’s no malpractice in a perfect plan that never takes effect, but there is an ethical question: If a plan can’t perform, have we truly served the client?

The best attorneys I know are redefining what “completion” means. They’re making funding part of their professional standard, not to add work, but to guarantee outcomes.

Excellence in law isn’t just about precision. It’s about performance.

And that’s the standard we’re working to make universal.
