DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY
You must choose a person to act as your attorney. The Durable Power of Attorney allows your appointed attorney to act on your behalf in making business type decisions and lasts through any period of incompetence. The alternate attorney will act should the primary attorney not be able to do so. The Durable Power of Attorney may not suffice for certain real estate transactions and will vary from lender to lender which may require a specific power of attorney. Make sure you trust the person that you appoint as they will have access to bank accounts and other assets of yours.

SIMPLE WILLS
A simple will is designed only to control the distribution of your assets at death. If your assets total more than approximately $5,000,000.00, you should contact an attorney who specializes in estate planning and taxation. If your marital status changes, or heirs predecease you or your assets change significantly, you should schedule a consultation with our office to amend your will. If you have children under the age of 18 years and want to establish a Trust for their health, welfare, education and well being in the event both parents should become deceased and to designate your desires for who will care for them, that can be done in the Simple Will.
Wendell L. Hawkins, P.A. does not automatically update wills or automatically notify clients when laws change that may affect the validity or interpretation of your will or changes in the Unified Credit under the Internal Revenue Code (the amount of your estate value which is not taxable). Wendell L. Hawkins, P.A. does not keep a copy of your will. Your will should be kept in a safe place and your family should know where you keep it.
