What people bring to a 20-minute call
Typical situations, not quotes — not tied to any one person.
- Someone has died, and you're not sure whether probate is even required
- A will that hasn't been updated in years, and a life that's changed since it was signed
- Being named executor, with no idea what the role actually involves
- A power of attorney question, for yourself or for an aging parent
