I am a business, transactions, contracts attorney. I was the sole in-house attorney for a good-sized staffing company. I can review and create nearly any type of document you need. I enjoy writing, reading, and editing contracts. I want to read your contract. If I cannot do it, I won't take the job and I won't charge you for what I cannot do. However, in reality, unless you need a 225 page financing agreement, is has never been an issue.

Power of Attorney

Revoking power attorney

T. Phillip B.

Answered Feb 18, 2022

Typically anything written which indicates you are revoking it should be sufficient. It should be delivered to your agent. I would also deliver it to any banks or other places where your agent may use the POA.

How can wife get power attorney from sibling for mother?

My wife is trying to get power of attorney for her mom from her sister that only wants her money and now we have her mom and her sister is keeping her I’d and birth certificate so she has no control of her money gave her a bank card with no pin and no I’d so she can’t go to the bank and get her money

George B.

Answered Sep 8, 2021

Generally, if a person is competent, he or she can revoke a power of attorney at any time and execute a new one in favor of someone else. Every individual/business that is aware of the previous power of attorney will need to be notified that it has been revoked and given the updated power of attorney. However, if a person has any conditions that may be impairing mental functions, it may be necessary to petition the court for guardianship/conservatorship. Both of these scenarios can get complicated incredibly fast, and you should consult with a lawyer in either situation.

Durable Power of Attorney

North Carolina

Asked on Jul 1, 2025

Can someone who has POA & is a caretaker of a family member in an assisted living facility receive compensation for services rendered from the family member’s estate?

I have a cousin that has taken on sole responsibility for the care of my aunt (95 yrs old), who is now in an assisted living facility. He has spent countless hours handling the sell of her house, enrolling her into an assisted living facility, daily visits, taking her to doctor’s visits and handling any issues that may arise. Family members of my aunt would like to compensate my cousin for all his time spent in caring for my aunt. Can my cousin be paid a monthly compensation from my aunt’s estate? Can each family member sign a statement (and have it notarized) that they are in agreement for this money to be paid monthly to our cousin for his services? What steps would we need to take to make this happen? We just want to make sure it is all done legally.

Jazmin C.

Answered Aug 1, 2025

I would say yes, especially if it is in the power of attorney that they can be compensated. If you want to reduce that down to a payment agreement, you can; it may not be necessary, but you can definitely do that. I would start with the durable power of attorney first!

Last Will and Testament

Georgia

Asked on Jun 2, 2026

I had an Alabama elder care lawyer create my POA, will, etc. Now I am living permanently in Ga. Is my paperwork still good or do I need to get it reviewed and updated in Ga.

widowed and living alone

Allen L.

Answered Jun 5, 2026

The short answer is: your Alabama documents are most likely still legally valid in Georgia, but a Georgia attorney review is strongly recommended — especially given your situation living alone and widowed. Here is the breakdown: Will Georgia recognizes a will validly executed in another state as long as it was properly signed and witnessed under that state's law at the time it was made. Alabama and Georgia both require two witnesses, so your will should be fine. That said, if your Alabama will names your spouse or references Alabama-specific assets, accounts, or property that has since changed, it absolutely needs updating for that reason alone. Power of Attorney Georgia adopted the Uniform Power of Attorney Act in 2017. Georgia will generally honor a POA validly created in another state. However, Georgia has specific statutory language that banks, hospitals, and other institutions are accustomed to seeing. If your Alabama POA does not track Georgia's statutory form, some institutions may resist honoring it or ask for additional paperwork, which can cause serious delays in a crisis. Having a Georgia-compliant POA dramatically reduces that friction. Healthcare Directive / Advance Directive This is the most important one to update. Georgia has its own Advance Directive for Health Care form that combines a living will and healthcare proxy. Georgia medical providers are trained on this specific form. An Alabama healthcare directive may be legally valid here, but you may encounter real-world resistance from hospitals and doctors who are not familiar with it. A Georgia-specific advance directive is highly advisable. Practical Concerns Given Your Situation Living alone and widowed means your agent under your POA and your healthcare proxy are your first and only lines of protection if something happens. You want zero friction when those documents need to be used. This is not the situation to test whether an out-of-state document will be accepted in a moment of urgency. You should also confirm that whoever you have named as your agent, executor, and healthcare proxy is still the right person, still willing, and still able to serve. Bottom Line Your documents are not void, but getting them reviewed and updated for Georgia is genuinely worth the time and cost. At a minimum, a new Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care and a Georgia-compliant Durable POA should be strongly considered. While you are at it, confirm your beneficiary designations on any life insurance, IRAs, and bank accounts, as those pass outside your will regardless. Next Step The easiest way to get this handled is to open a project on ContractsCounsel at www.contractscounsel.com. You can post your document review and drafting project there, receive competitive flat-fee bids from Georgia-licensed attorneys who handle exactly this type of elder law work, and get everything updated without having to search for a lawyer on your own. It is a straightforward process and puts you in control of the cost upfront. Given your situation, this is one of those things that is well worth getting done sooner rather than later.

Last Will and Testament

California

Asked on Apr 24, 2023

Can I create an estate plan without the help of a lawyer?

I am in my mid-fifties and have recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I have a large estate that I would like to be distributed to my family and friends when I pass away. I have done some research and understand the importance of having an estate plan, but I am not sure if I am able to create one without the help of a lawyer. I am looking for more information that will help me make the best decision for my family and myself.

Philip M.

Answered May 12, 2023

You can certainly go ahead and fill out simple forms to complete some easy estate planning documents like wills, but for more complicated documents like a trust (which is required if you want to avoid probate) it can get a little trickier. Further, anyone can fill in the blanks, but an experienced attorney will be able to explain what the document does and how it meets your wishes best. Hope this helps.
