[WSBAPT] Query x 3

[Diane J. Kiepe]

Boy the longer I practice, the more things hit me differently.  I am curious today if you would share with me your practice approach (if any) on the following points:


  1.  Drafting Wills and considering the possibility of heirs found via all these new heir find services.
  2.  Your general approach for finding heirs in an intestacy estate - I generally just go based on the petition information as sworn to by my client - maybe that practice is outdated.
  3.  In powers of attorney that are effective upon incapacity, what is your "go-to" language for determining incapacity and if you can share a story or two of seeing it in action effectively or maybe roadblocked (I have had one institution (before the most recent act) say they had to be specifically named to recognize a Power of Attorney).

Thanks all.
