• Wills
  When you lose your spouse you should immediately contact the Knight Moore Law Firm to determine the steps in processing the transfer of assets from your deceased spouse. You should get a copy of the death certificate as soon as possible and locate the Last Will and Testament of the deceased spouse for safe-keeping. If you have an estate plan that you formulated with your attorney, you should review that plan immediately and consult an attorney to make sure it is properly executed. Usually a husband and wife have joint bank accounts and jointly owned property so there is usually no emergency in making those assets available. Generally, if both husband and wife are the owners of an account, the presentation to the bank or financial institution of a death certificate enables the surviving spouse to withdraw funds to meet the short term obligations of the family.
• Trusts
• Power of Attorney
  A Power of Attorney is when a person grants the authority to another person to act on their behalf as if they were acting personally in any matter. Typically, a person who executes a General Power of Attorney is enabling a loved one to sign for them and do things on their behalf as if they were doing them themselves. Usually a Power of Attorney is a matter of convenience for an elderly or disabled person. Sometimes a Power of Attorney is used when a person is unavailable to sign documents or manage their affairs. A Power of Attorney once granted is revocable and is not supervised by the Probate or Common Pleas Court.
