When I started my solo practice, I was told by several people that work would come in cycles and that has proven true. For several months it was all about will-based estate plans, then a rash of people needing preparation or administration of revocable living trusts, and now, it appears, a run of wills to probate. It's interesting when work comes along in patterns like this.
