Wills
Elder law attorneys can aid with the creation of a last will and testament and pay on death accounts; accounts that make it possible for assets to be transferred as quickly as possible after a death happens. They can also identify what types of tax-advantaged accounts (like IRAs) you should put money into in order to have a secure retirement. And, elder law attorneys assist you in creating a plan that nourishes your nest egg throughout your life and after you pass one.  These tools can be used to keep assets safe from creditors, allow a business to pass quickly to new owners so it can continue to thrive, reduce estate taxes, and to otherwise put the maximum processions in place for your money and family. Whatever your situation, when you work with an elder law attorney, our firm will discuss your goals and help you implement a plan to achieve these goals.

Power of Attorney
Our law firm prepares, for our clients, the 25-page Durable Power of Attorney that you cannot find on-line. The normal on-line DPOAs are woefully insufficient. Most of them are just a couple pages. Your bank (for example, Bank of America and/or Wells Fargo Bank) no longer accepts the traditional (short-form) Durable Powers of Attorney. They will only accept our modern 25-page (long-form) DPOA. The reason is the new long-form South Carolina Durable Power of Attorney has 15 pages of language stating: (1) the powers of the Agent, and (2) holding the Banks and Financial Institutions harmless for working with your Agent. Therefore, you now need the modern, much more comprehensive, General Durable Power of Attorney. Please call us (or come in to see us) to get an outstanding, up-to-date, thorough Durable Power of Attorney that will actually work for your appointed Agent when you are sick or incapacitated.  You may call our office right now at (843) 577-3700 and schedule a consultation with an attorney to get the right documents for you in place before it’s too late and you are in the 40% of Americans who are sick or incapacitated.
