Professional drafts, easy going.

About Estate Drafter

The E&E Trust and Will Drafting System was created by me, Alan S. Acker, to help you prepare an initial draft of revocable trusts, wills, and financial powers of attorney for your clients in a quick and efficient manner.

I do a great deal of drafting of wills and trusts and other estate planning documents. And I have designed and built this system to be something that I would want; a system that is easy to use, a system that is efficient to use, and a system that produces excellent documents. I hope you'll agree that I've accomplished these goals.

However, being an estate planner like you, I am cautious. Remember that a form should never be followed blindly. A form is only a tool to help you in providing quality documents to your clients. No form can replace nor should it replace your professional judgment.
