In the past few years we've had an attorney prepare modern Wills especially fixing a problem with Executors, Durable Powers of Attorney & Medical, and Beneficial Deeds to avid probate hassle & cost regarding my aging parents' estates. I went in the other day to ask a simple question about the will after Mother passed away; 25 minutes waiting for him; & 5 minute conversation, max. I just received an invoice for 0.2 hours. Now I'm thinking: I have their documents and I can type.
You got billed for the time it took for you to get from the door to the chair, the talk, and back to the door. Apparently, any fraction of six minutes gets billed as six minutes. Be glad the office isn't any bigger...
I believe God did give me free will. He might have shorted me on the free won't.
ReplyDeleteIf you think that wills are free....talk to an attorney.
ReplyDelete@TrickyRicky- Wow, there's a truism!
ReplyDelete@Snark- Painfully, that's just what I've been doing lately.
