Case of the Week 5/25/07

Client's Age: 64
County: Putnam

Client's daughter has Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA), and has recently been exploiting client and treating her unkindly. Client wanted someone else to have MPOA, so we explained how to revoke her old one, sent her a blank form to fill out, and instructed her to give copies of the new document to all her medical providers as well as her new agent.

Case of the Week 5/4/07

Client's age: 81
County: Ohio

Client recently bought home for herself and blind son with his wife to live in, but now deeply regretted it. Client quickly had to move because of pet allergies, and son and wife could not afford the home, so foreclosure was imminent. We examined client's financial circumstances, explained that she was otherwise collection proof, and could live in accessible senior housing with her income and few personal assets protected from this debt.
