Power of Attorney

Tennessee

Asked on Apr 21, 2022

Do I need a lawyer to get a power of attorney

My uncle is an elderly man and his wife passed away in January of this year. She did everything as far handling all of the important things. He doesn't understand a lot of things. He asked me if I would take over everything for him. So I think I need to get a power of attorney to be able to do tnat.

Rebecca R.

Answered May 3, 2022

A power of attorney allows you to make decisions and dispose of property, it does sound like one might be helpful in your situation. When an attorney writes up the power of attorney, you have a range of permissions to cover all the needs of your individual situation. You’ll want to be sure that you have the ability to write checks, etc. Additionally, the power of attorney will be useful if other family members challenge your decisions or actions. Drafting the document is a fairly straightforward process, and most attorneys will bill 1-2 hours depending on whether you need additional documents for healthcare and estate decisions.

Employment Contract

Florida

Asked on Apr 12, 2023

What's vacation time in an employment contract?

I recently accepted a new job and I was provided an employment contract to review. In the contract, there is a section about vacation time, but it is not very clear. I'm trying to understand what vacation time is included in the contract and what the expectations are for taking time off. I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of my rights and responsibilities regarding vacation time before I sign the contract.

Answered May 10, 2023

You can create your own will. However, having an attorney draft it for you will ensure that your wishes are carried out in all circumstances. Doing it yourself without having any experience may cause many problems after your demise.

Trust

Massachusetts

Asked on Apr 1, 2025

How can I set up a trust to protect my assets?

I am a business owner and have accumulated significant assets over the years. With the increasing risks and uncertainties in the business world, I am concerned about protecting my assets from potential lawsuits, creditors, and other unforeseen circumstances. I have heard that setting up a trust can provide a level of asset protection, but I am unsure about the process and the different types of trusts available. I would like to consult with a lawyer to understand how I can establish a trust that safeguards my assets while still allowing me to have control and access to them.

Joseph M.

Answered Apr 8, 2025

There are numerous forms of Trust that are available depending on the specific assets and your unique goals. Generally speaking, the two main types of trusts are Revocable and Irrevocable. WIth a Revocable Trust, just like it sounds, as trustee you can remove the assets at some point if you so chose, but if you are to pass away or become incapacitated at some point, it reverts to being Irrevocable. An Irrevocable Trust is one in which the grantor transfers all ownership interests to the Trust itself and this act is irreversible. As I am sure you guessed, there are a myriad of ways that your goals can be achieved and I would be happy to provide a free consultation to discuss your situation and possible solutions.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
