Fact #1 - The law is constantly changing, and books or materials on the internet are not always up to date. While there are online and pre-printed forms readily available for wills, powers of attorney, living trusts, and other documents, they may not be valid in your state or may not meet your specific needs. Completing these forms properly can be difficult, and mistakes cannot be corrected once you become incapacitated or die.
Elder law and estate planning attorneys provide the important counseling that online forms are unable to, allowing you to avoid unintended harmful consequences to loved ones, unanticipated taxes, or court intervention to fix errors discovered later.
