Random question - my new flats fit fine but the inside of the shoe is too slippery and my foot slides and then it starts to come off my heel. I don't like going barefoot in flats, ick, so is there something else I can do to the inside of the shoe to make it not so slippery? I'm thinking of adding those pads inside the heel but I'm not sure it would help. This sliding reminds me of when I used to wear heels and your foot slides down into the toe but not to the extreme I'll get blisters but it makes me walk a bit off to try and keep them on.
We aren’t worried about the financial side of getting an attorney. It’s more that we don’t know when we’ll actually be able to go out and meet with one. We would rather get things going and started if possible. The legalzoom packages come with 1 year of professional help so Dh thinks that should work similar to having an attorney. What do you think?
I believe the last will package is $279 that comes with living wills and POAs
A lot of estate attorney's will come to you and given the current state, I imagine would meet you via skype to make things easier. Unless the professional help you get is actually a lawyer that has passed the bar in Florida I wouldn't count on it being as helpful as an actual lawyer. To me this is the one thing you don't want to skimp on because it will cause headaches later and a lawyer will come up with the questions that need to be asked more than I'd expect a professional that could just be someone in a call center.
An example, yes power of attorney is important if you end up in the hospital but did you know it also covers other things? Example that I think I've shared on here before from an estate attorney. A couple that lives on Puget Sound was out of the country on vacation when a large bird, I think a hawk, flew into their living room window. Their neighbor's, who were also their POA, noticed when checking on the house and due to the POA was able to get everything with the insurance taken care of and the window was replaced before the homeowners returned from vacation and they had little to deal with on vacation because of it.
No obviously this isn't something that happens often but it's just an example of how it's not all about medical and children. I realize that you probably don't know anyone in the area well enough for something like this and I'm not saying to find someone local, but it's stuff like this that the legal zoom people may not address, ask about etc that an actual estate attorney will.
It's not about making things easy for you, though obviously the POA, medical directive, living will does because it's supposed to follow your wishes of what you want done if you get sick etc, but it's to make it easier for everyone after. It's really not a huge time commitment. My mom did most of the updates she needed on hers via the phone.
You very well may be able to do all you want and need with legal zoom and be happy with it for a few years and then get it all done later with an attorney. But the most important thing, regardless of how it's done, is that it needs to be filed with the state, or county or however it's done in FL. And probably notarized, which will mean leaving the house. Again you may find an attorney that will come to you that can assist with that.
Fortunately they can still see each other in their online class chat, but this all stinks 
that is NOT social distancing.
