ssmjlm , what did the 2nd lawyer do that was better? We got a pretty basic will-as in it specifies that everything goes to our DS when we die or a second list if all of us died. Then it specifies who DS would go live with, that’s about it. I don’t know if there should have been a trust created or if there is anything missing. He was a perfectly nice lawyer, I just don’t think he went into anything in depth because of what he was getting reimbursed.
He basically went over everything we could/might need that was covered under the legal plan. He walked us through everything and just was much more personable. Sometimes it's just a personality thing. Then when we went back to sign everything with my parents since they are the named guardians/my dad is executor, he answered any of their questions, went over everything again.
We ended up with a will, a trust, and a medical directive thingy. It was all covered by the legal plan and he was happy to map it all out for us and then draw it up.
I'm pretty sure Shoegal showed her ass with some racist bullshit and peaced out rather than deal, but I could be remembering incorrectly.
Honestly, I found her insufferable long before that.
I think she also got some pushback on one of her posts that cross-posted here and her blog for feedback and she didn't like that the majority of us here told her she was wrong/not thinking of things correctly. I can't recall the exact issue, but she was posting something regarding prenups and it didn't go over well here. I feel like she bounced right after that, but I admittedly have a terrible board memory.
ETA: Nope, this was a few weeks ahead of Charlottesville BS, but right around the same time.
I can't believe her blog calls her "self-made". Whoa. Still tone-deaf.
