Power of Attorneys are Extremely Important, But Make Sure You Understand What You Are Signing

A well drafted Durable Power of Attorney is an extremely important part of most of our clients overall estate plans, but make sure you understand the significance of the power that you will be granting. This article that appeared in the N.Y. Times does a nice job of explaining the importance of these documents, but also how they can lead to fraud and abuse if given to the wrong individuals. This is also a great example of why it's so vital to have your estate plan drafted by an experienced estate planning attorney rather than trying to do it yourself or using some type of online service. Give the article a read, it's important information to know.

Testimonials

I called around to get an idea of pricing for wills, living wills & power of atty, and was quoted 500$ from other firms. I was not expecting less than half of the competitor's quotes. They were quick, efficient, friendly, (i could go on...). I would and will recommend them in the future!
