Many of my article/blogs state: “It is beyond the scope of this article…” and some readers might say, then why write the article at all. If you cannot give definitive answers to a problem, then stay mute!
However, the true purpose of my blog and series of articles is to cover topics that are being discussed in the field of estate planning law. Also, I want to draw attention to unique topics and issues that the ‘general’ public might not even be aware exist.
There is usually the caution at the end of my articles to consult a qualified legal or financial professional. I do not take that caution lightly. The laws of our land change and the consequences of not staying ‘on top of’ legislation can be disastrous.
One expert in estate planning law had quipped – “I love people who draft their own wills or trusts based on website forms – they are the backbone of my firm.” He went on to say that a portion of his large client base was people who had attempted to draft their own legal documents, to disastrous long term and unforeseen effect. His ‘business’ was based upon untangling the messes!
There are few people who would attempt major surgery on themselves using internet information- they seek the advice and medical services of a doctor of medicine. However, those same individuals might not hesitate to undertake the process of drafting a legal document on their own using a website document.
So, yes, often the information in a blog is ‘beyond the scope’ of the article to cover and for any individual legal situation/question – it is indeed wise to seek the advice of a qualified professional.
