They say it's so they can provide it to a new attorney for easier updates to their current documents I drafted for them. My policy is to only provide PDF copies because it's too easy for clients to make their own updates that may be detrimental to their estate. Also, I have spent 12 years honing my documents and I consider them proprietary creations of mine that it don't want people I don't know copying. The clients are not happy with my policy and have given some pretty snippy replies to my reasons for not giving them .dic versions of final wills, etc.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Do any of you provide changeable (.doc) final versions of your legal docs to clients? Am I maybe being too cautious? I don't think so, but I thought I'd ask.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Thanks!</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Heather Kolbly</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">KOLBLY LAW FIRM, PC</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">(425) 444-1888</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><a href="mailto:Heather@Kolblylaw.com">Heather@Kolblylaw.com</a><br></span><br><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Sent from my iPhone</span></div><blockquote type="cite" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span>________________________________</span><br></blockquote><style><!--
