[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family had a trust drawn up a few months ago, and there was a spot for two witness signatures. The notary public at the bank said that she could be one of the witnesses, so we executed it that way. There were two lines for two witnesses, and the notary said our sole witness could sign them both. I relied On the notary's assurance.

Now I'm not sure. We sent it back to the estate attorney for filing, and she never said it was wrong, but maybe they missed something. I don't want to call her because she charges $500 an hour for questions.

Any advice?[/quote]

had a sick relative die after care for over a year.  when I compare the amount of money paid to health care workers, that gave loving care day and night for a year, and compare that to the amount of money paid to an estate attorney for a weekend of work, it is obscene.

to all the law school graduates out of work, go into estate tax law.  How hard can it be, people have been dying for millions of years and estate law had been established for hundreds of years, yet somehow these lawyers are able to charge $450 an hour for relatively unskilled work.  We should not have to spend $9000 on an estate lawyer to close an estate that is basic and had a will established well in advance.   just a rape of people.  lawyers are no better than parasites.[/quote]
