Estate planning and mitigating taxes

[Rich Hupper]

Hello

My mother has over a million in assets and zero debt. I want to help her start planning her estate. I would like to know if she should be consulting an estate planning attorney or a CPA first. I know she wants her properties to be put into a trust and reduce any taxes as much as possible.

Please let me know the best way to proceed and if there are any good referrals here at biggerpockets.

Thank you
