"I had the pleasure of working with Nancy on a commercial lease for our Business, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From our initial consultation to the final signing, her professionalism, deep knowledge of real estate law, and attention to detail were outstanding. What impressed me most was the clear and consistent communication. She took the time to walk me through all clause of the lease on which we had concerns, answered all my questions promptly, and made sure I fully understood my rights and obligations and also suggested modification which would help me as a Tenant. Her expertise helped negotiate favorable terms and avoid potential pitfalls I wouldn’t have caught on my own. If you're looking for a real estate attorney who combines strong legal skills with excellent client service, I highly recommend Nancy. She made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and secure."

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.

Affidavit of Heirship

New York

Asked on Aug 8, 2021

What are inheritance rights for niece and nephew?

My Aunt passed away July 9, 2021 and she had a will. On the will she stated that she wants everything left to my mother whom is deceased as well and executer of estate is my sister.

Jane C.

Answered Aug 23, 2021

Does the will have a provision that states who will receive your aunt's assets if your mother predeceased her? If not, I believe the rules of inheritance found in the New York Statute will govern. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/EPT/4-1.1. Your sister needs to go to the Probate Court and/or consult an estate attorney.

Trust

Florida

Asked on Oct 3, 2024

Can a trust be contested after the death of the person who created it?

Can a trust be contested after the death of the person who created it? I recently discovered that my late grandmother had created a trust before her passing, and I am concerned about its validity and the distribution of assets. There are certain family members who were excluded from the trust, and I suspect they may try to contest it now that my grandmother is no longer alive. I want to understand my rights and options in case a dispute arises regarding the trust.

Lori B.

Answered Oct 18, 2024

You will need to review the Trust Agreement carefully. A Trust usually cannot be contested after the grantor dies. If the trust agreement was drafted correctly, it appoints a successor trustee to take over the trust and the trust assets. In other words, the trust continues to operate.

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.

Will

Pennsylvania

Asked on Apr 22, 2026

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.

Answered May 26, 2026

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.

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.
