Life Planning
450 Package tm
.
Firm's Life Planning Will Package Saves
Money.
The Life Planning 450 Package
tm
initiated by Jerold R. Gilbert, Esq., has been successfully launched. It's goal
is to provide
a low cost, quality and professionally drawn Will for the average
individual.
Feedback from clients completing their Wills under the Package
has been overwhelmingly positive.
They enjoy the low cost, just $450.00 per person.
They like the quality of the documents and the extensive
provisions contained in the Will. The standard provisions
of this Will are normally seen in much more expensive Wills.
As a result, they get a better value.
They enjoy direct, personal and professional consultation and
specific advice give by the
attorney to help them achieve their intended goals.
Provisions in the Will are designed to maximize monies going
to the heirs and limit administration costs. The cost of
each Will is a mere fraction (1 to 2%) of the amount of
potential savings. In reality, they understand the investment
value of their Will and quite frankly most admit they
couldn't afford to be without it.
They like the convenience of completing their General Durable Power of Attorney,
Medical Power of Attorney and "Living Will" (Advance
Medical Directive) all at the same time and for no further cost.
It makes It a very affordable, coordinated, complete and efficient package
tailored to
their current needs and unique situation.
Because the Life Planning 450 Package
tm provides
a General Durable Power of Attorney for business purposes. it
gives extremely good coverage at a very reasonable price.
Short of engaging in formal Estate Planning, it's the most
extensive "basic" planning one can do.
Medical Powers of Attorney Forms
with HIPPA Provisions Now Available.
Older Medical Powers of Attorney
Forms Should Be Updated.
In early 2006, the Colorado Bar Association, Committee on Estate
Planning, released their adopted uniform language for HIPPA provisions
in their Medical Power of Attorney forms. Previous forms
did not contain those provisions and were subject to rejection by
health care providers when applied in certain situations.
HIPPA (the Federal Act protecting the privacy of information)
created an unintended consequence wherein certain powers of
attorney were considered to be noncompliant with the act.
Over the course of several years the issue was addressed on a
piecemeal basis by individual lawyers and healthcare providers.
Having no focused consensus on acceptable provisions, the
resulting confusion in the healthcare and legal communities only
compounded the problems clients faced. As a result of the
committee's work, uniform language was developed that is now considered acceptable to
members of the healthcare industry and legal community.
This language is now implemented in all Medical Powers of
Attorney documents prepared by Jerold R. Gilbert, Esq.
We urge all clients and members of the public to check their
prior documents for compliance and update them as soon as
possible.
Please call us to review your documents and to update your
Medical Power of Attorney.
