INTAKE
Thanks Catherine. What brings you to us for estate planning today?
VISITOR
I have a will that was done about 15 years ago when I was still married to my first husband. I've since remarried and my situation has changed a lot. I own a business now too.
INTAKE
I understand. Tell me a bit about your family situation. Do you have children?
VISITOR
Yes, I have two children from my first marriage, ages 28 and 25. My current husband has one son from his previous marriage who is 22. We've been married for 8 years.
INTAKE
And can you tell me about your assets? Do you own real estate, have a business, retirement accounts?
VISITOR
We own our home which is worth about $650,000. I own an LLC - a consulting business that's probably worth around $1.2 million. I have about $400,000 in retirement accounts, and my husband has his own retirement savings too.
INTAKE
Do you have any existing estate planning documents besides the old will?
VISITOR
No, just that old will. No powers of attorney or healthcare directives. I know I should have those.
INTAKE
Are you currently working with any other attorney on estate planning matters?
VISITOR
No, I haven't worked with anyone since that original will was done. I'm starting fresh.
