Quite a few years ago, we had wills and POA's drawn up by an attorney. Now we want to update the wills, and also get Medical POA's and DNRs. We are both utterly determined not to be kept alive by artificial means, and we know of people whose wishes were ignored in this regard.
That same attorney seemingly has done well, and now has other lawyers in practice with him. They still offer a free 30-minute initial consultation, as they did back when we got the wills, but would it be kosher to ask for the 30 free minutes, since we obviously already used their services once?
Re: using a lawyer: Although some will say "just DIY using online forms," my spider sense tells me that I need an attorney, particularly for the MPOA and DNR, to ensure the wording is just right for my state.
Thanks,
