On October 21, 2003 I Received An Urgent Phone Call That My Dad Had Been in a Car Wreck And Was Not Expected To Live
Over the course of the next few days, it became clear that the Alzheimer's that had been diagnosed a few weeks earlier had advanced to the point he barely knew me or anyone else and was incapable of making any decisions for himself.
I had to deal with his affairs, pay past-due bills, settle insurance claims, file tax returns for the last five years, execute contracts with nursing homes and deal with a vast array of doctors and other health care professionals. Besides the emotional impact, the most difficult part of all of this was doing it without any legal standing to do so; even though I'm an attorney!!!
My dad didn't have any of the documents I needed in order to act on his behalf.
It took many grueling hours of convincing, threatening and conniving to get everything done I had to do just because I didn't have these simple, yet crucial documents in my hand - because my dad hadn't gotten around to executing them.
After that experience, I made a promise to myself:
I would help others get their and their loved ones' affairs in order, so they don't have to go through what I went through at such a gut-wrenching time.
I'VE DEVELOPED A SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE (actually, incredibly inexpensive) 3-STEP PROCESS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THESE CRUCIAL DOCUMENTS,
SO YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM AGAIN
1. Call or email or DM me right now – 512.785.6149 – [email protected]
2. Fill out the questionnaire I will send you and return it to me.
3. We will schedule a time to sign all your documents.
Don't Wait!
You know as well as I do -- there's no reason to not have these documents. By having them, you are the one who gets to say what happens, and you get to say who makes decisions for you - not the Legislature or a Judge.
JUST LIKE MY DAD, THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS TO PUT IT OFF.
BUT THESE CRUCIAL DOCUMENTS CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED BY YOUR LOVED ONES!
I urge you - no, I STRONGLY urge you to just do it and do it now. Like so many others, you'll experience a sense of peace and relief, and the gift to your loved ones, when the documents are needed, will be one of the greatest gifts you could ever give them.
COST STARTS AT $300 FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR $500 FOR A COUPLE
In an article I read recently, 75% of the adults in United States do not have these simple, yet invaluable documents. What I'm referring to are the following Crucial Documents that nobody should be without.
• Medical Power of Attorney - This document appoints someone of your choice to make medical decisions for you in the event you're unable to make them for yourself.
• Directive to Physician (Living Will) - This document states clearly your choice of how doctors, et al are to proceed in the event of catastrophic illness or injury where death is imminent. Sometimes crudely referred to as the pull-the-plug-or-not choice.
• HIPIAA Release - This document gives doctors and other medical providers the ability to discuss your medical condition with the people you say they can. Otherwise, they are prohibited from doing so -- even to those you'd want them to.
• Statutory Durable Power of Attorney - This document authorizes the person you so designate to conduct your business, financial, and other affairs just as though they were you in the event you are incapacitated.
• Will - Without it, the Texas Legislature and/or a judge make all the decisions for you -- and I can pretty confidently assure you that you would not agree with many of them.
o Who gets your worldly possessions - house, car, money, stocks, socks, everything
o Who gets custody of your children
o Who manages the settlement of your affairs
AND I STRONGLY RECOMMEND OTHER DOCUMENTS AND ACTIONS TO TAKE TO COMPLETELY AVOID PROBATE!!! SAVING YOUR LOVED ONES MUCH TIME & MONEY…
Call or Email or DM today and get your DOCUMENTS!
