Signing

At the meeting to sign, she signed a power of attorney, an advanced medical directive, a Revocable living Trust and a pour over will, instructions on changing accounts and a bill for $4,000 in the office in front of the paralegal as notary and some witnesses. She said during the signing how great it was that her family would save so much in taxes and probate costs. She was elated. She went home and put them as directed in a joint safe deposit box with her daughter who was going to be the Trustee after her death. She did not look at the instructions, the attorney did not prepare any deeds. She did not transfer any accounts into the name of the Trust. She figured everything was taken care of.
