The Conversation Project

January 20, 2014 by Saul Kobrick Leave a Comment

A recent survey unveiled a few surprising mindsets in America and how we handle end of life matters. It’s being called “conversation disconnect” and it shows that 90 percent of us know we should have an end of life conversation with our loved ones, yet less than 30 percent of us have made that effort. The Conversation Project conducted the survey and as estate planning lawyers, we know all too well the awkwardness and uncertainty about discussing our final wishes with our family members. But we … [Read more...] about The Conversation Project

Power of Attorney and Guardianship: Differentiating the Two

January 6, 2014 by Saul Kobrick Leave a Comment

It’s human nature; we tend to avoid those things we don’t quite understand. Proof of that was revealed recently when my sweet husband kept “forgetting” to pick up baking powder at the grocery store. When he finally owned up to it and said he’d found baking powder and baking soda, instead of a quick text to me, he just opted to … [Read more...] about Power of Attorney and Guardianship: Differentiating the Two
