Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 We bought a program called Kiplinger Wills and other documents at Staples for under $10 when they had a sale. I use their document for Durable Power of Attorney and then delete sections having to do with buying and selling property and dealing with complex financial matters to get the thing to 2 pages or less! Elie owns nothing, income is only SSD and SSI and my big concern is the health and school, and organizations which want his signature. By doing the DPOA, I did not need an attorney (cost of over $1,000 when I lived in PA., did not have to go to court nor take his " guardianship " . This way, without court involvment, he can still vote, register for the draft, even marry - altho we know that he won't - but he could if he wanted to with my permission.
