Since a lot of my law practice involves estate planning, I prepare a lot of what are called “advance directives” (ADs) – documents that authorize somebody else to make decisions for you if you can’t. The least understood of these ADs is the directive to physicians, or “living will”.

As an estate planning and probate lawyer, I occasionally have clients who come in, chat with me and my support staff, fill out an estate planning questionnaire and have me prepare draft documents for them

I do a lot of business formations at The Jacobson Law Firm, P.C., and serve as general counsel to many companies as well. I have discovered over the course of many years and many clients that one of the things small companies and entrepreneurs are really bad at is documenting their corporate activity – that is, having annual meetings and memorializing what happened at those meetings.
