A humorous post to let everyone know that for the foreseeable future, I will be unable to take on any new clients OTHER THAN estate plans, uncontested probate matters and transactional work. I have accepted an appointment as Supervisor of Hamburg Township, which is a full-time job, leaving me free only on Fridays to run my law practice. I am thus unable to commit to court appearances or any litigation matters.

But I'm still happily doing estate plans, so if you've been putting off getting that trust or doing powers of attorney, shoot me an email: [email protected].

If your license declares you to be an organ donor, you might want to get that changed. This incident that happened to Anthony Hoover has a lot of people rethinking their decision to be an organ donor.

If you're still wanting to be a donor, but are concerned about the way it will play out, you're better off:

1) Removing it from your driver's license; and
2) Executing a Medical Power of Attorney document, naming a Patient Advocate who will be able to assess the circumstances you are in and make the call on your behalf.

Nothing compares to having someone there who can exercise prudent judgment for you when you can't do it yourself.

Anthony Thomas “TJ” Hoover woke up before his organs were about to be donated after his family was told he was brain dead, an organ preservationist said.

Anyway, if you haven't yet made a will, the Powers That Be have determined that this is the month to do it. Gimme a call: 810-772-1897 to schedule an estate planning consultation.

My son-in-law prompted me to read this book. An excellent read with good reminders for us all.

From a reviewer: "As a specialist in both medical ethics and the treatment of older patients, Dr. Lydia Dugdale knows a great deal about the end of life. Far too many of us die poorly, she argues. Our culture has overly medicalized death: dying is often institutional and sterile, prolonged by unnecessary resuscitations and other intrusive interventions. We are not going gently into that good night—our reliance on modern medicine can actually prolong suffering and strip us of our dignity. Yet our lives do not have to end this way."
