Wills and Other Documents
Wills and other documents drawn hurriedly before a vacation or illness, have been set aside as not resulting from time for thorough planning.
A business owner retires to Florida or Arizona and does not change his will. The will can be set aside on the grounds that the attorney was not qualified to do estate work for a resident of the retirement state.
Procrastination between initial meeting, drafting and signing has been proved to indicate uncertainty by the client and lack of interest by the attorney.
A will which does not produce the absolute lowest tax results, in the absence of written instructions from the client, can be proved to be incompetent legal work. This lengthy article has been condensed into four-pages in Report #625 by the Independent Business Institute, PO Box 159, Akron, OH 44309, and can be ordered for one dollar to cover costs.
