Being semi retired I dont want very much legal business so sure NOT looking for more lol. Last time the yellow pages called wanting me to advertise they went on how Id get more calls n business etc to which I responded THATS THE LAST THING I WANT IS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE CALLIN N BUGGIN ME AND MORE WORK FOR ME TO DO LOL. They gave up n hung up
However I must say Ive found what you say to be true in many situations. For example, I have clients come to me concerned about things such as a Power of Attorney or Healthcare Representative Appointments or Wills or Living Wills etc for their aging parents. I tell them heres the deal. IFFFFFFFF their parent is fully functioning and mentally competent AND MOST OF ALL wants and is willing to execute such documents and assign certain powers NOW the cost is very reasonable and can save heartaches and hard feelings later down the road. HOWEVER if they wait till they are incompetent they then lack the capacity to do the same which means very expensive Guardianship proceedeings n doctors n lawyers n expensive expert witnesses and family fights etc. etc. I do some probate work n it seems it NEVER FAILS, Mary lives next door to mom n works like a slave carin for her for years then mom dies GUESS WHAT big shot brother from California who never came to see mom or help now wants to run the show n dicate to the family what to do grrrrrrrrr.
When people need medical advice they go to the Dr. n if he says an organ is bad they take his advice n say rip it out or if the car is bad they do like the mechanic said or same for plumbing n other skilled professional help n never question it but let a legal question arise (where the lawyer might save them thousands) then they take the advice of their brotehr in law lol n wonder why they get sued later n have to run up one enormous legal fee to get em out of a mess which good advice up front may have saved them from.
Oh well enough soap box for now, Im sooooooo glad I retired as an electrical enginner n had a real life in that n farming long before I became Law Man cuz Id hate to have to scrap n fight n dig n cut throats n engage in allll that nasty hard dirty fighting to make a living whewwwww
Yall take care n God Bless
