Phocus L.
G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.

Power of Attorney
Ohio
Can a Power of Attorney be revoked if the person who granted it is now capable of making decisions?
Can a Power of Attorney be revoked if the person who granted it is now capable of making decisions? I have been granted Power of Attorney for my elderly mother who was deemed mentally incapable of making decisions due to dementia. However, her condition has improved significantly, and she is now able to make decisions on her own. I want to know if it is possible to revoke the Power of Attorney and return decision-making authority to her.
Michelle M.
A power of attorney does not take away the decision-making authority of the principal. It appoints someone to act on behalf of the principal as provided in the document, but not to the exclusion of the person granting the power. If your mother granted power of attorney to you it allows you to act on her behalf, but she can also still act on her own. If she wants to revoke the power of attorney she can do so at any time, but given her diagnosis that may not be wise. It's likely the document will be needed again at some point in the future. The only proceeding that removes decision-making ability is a guardianship, which is done in the Probate Court (this is different than a power of attorney). Hope that helps!

Fee Agreement
California
Do I need to provide my personal and assets info to an estate planning attorney before signing a fee agreement so they can begin prepping a living trust
Looking for an estate planning attorney to prep a living trust and all other necessary docs

No. You do not need to provide any information until you agree to work with the attorney.

Will
Pennsylvania
Are any ContractsCounsel lawyers open to serving as an executor for my estate?
I'm 49, and I live in Pennsylvania. I'm not married, and I don't have any kids. My net worth around $2 million. I understand that if any lawyer is open to this arrangement, he/she would need to screen me before agreeing to serve as my executor.
Kenneth G.
Pennsylvania ethics rules permit a lawyer to serve as executor for a client, subject to PA RPC 1.7 conflict disclosure and PA RPC 1.8 Comment guidance, including advising of the lawyer's financial interest and the availability of alternative candidates. An engagement would be a long-tail fiduciary commitment, and the executor role should sit in a separate engagement letter with full Rule 1.7 disclosures, written informed consent, succession provisions, and confirmed fiduciary insurance. The engagement is ethically allowed, but there are enough structural hurdles with having a lawyer serve as executor that one may want to consider a bank or institutional executor in some cases.

Power of Attorney
Illinois
I am my brother's payee I am planning on moving another state my brother has had two aneurysms do I need power of attorney to move him to another state
My mom just died in 2020 February she was controlling the household I was living in Wisconsin when my mother died I was the only son capable taking care of things financially and mentally my oldest brother have had two aneurysms when my mom died I had to take care of my oldest brother and my youngest brother which he died the same day as my mom and my dad since then my oldest brother has lost his eyesight and he can't remember a lot of things I just want to know I am new to this do I need power of attorney to move my brother to another state
T. Phillip B.
You don't necessarily need a POA to move him to another state if he is agreeing to move. But at some point you'll need a POA (if he has the capacity to sign one) or to become his guardian.

Durable Power of Attorney
Colorado
How does a durable power of attorney work when the person dies?
If you have a durable power of attorney and the person dies, do you still have the authority or does it go to the spouse. I have a durable power of attorney for my aunt, she just died and I'm trying to take care of her funeral and things. Does her husband now have the right to make decisions or myself with the durable power of attorney?
Sarah D.
A Durable Power of attorney for finances (and healthcare) expires once your aunt dies. It is the executor of her will who now acts in that stead related to her finances. If the executor is the spouse, it will be his right to make the decisions. However, if all property was jointly owned between spouses, there is no need to probate the will under Colorado law.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
