I have a Brother In Law that lives in Sparks, just outside of Reno.

He just had some fairly major surgery this week. Had Cancer and they removed his Bladder and Prostate.

He is 69, older brother is 70 and my wife is the youngest. He has no family other than the 2 of them and not many, if any friends.

My Wife has a Medical Directive and Power of Attorney for him. But he has no Will or Trust. He owns his home and probably has the first dollar he ever made.

So at some point in the very near future one of the three of us is going to have to drag him to an Attorney. I don't think the three of them realize the potential mess if something isn't put in writing.

I just want to line up an Attorney for when the time comes. Thank you.

Sorry to hear of his health problems, and I hope for a good recovery.

Be sure he uses a good local attorney, not a website or computer based DIY solution. There will be important nuances to his location which require a local attorney who is knowledgeable.

The sooner the better, as the future is never guaranteed.

To help your family understand the importance, my father passed away July 2020. His estate is still not through probate, and he had almost nothing in it! Nobody contested anything, the court just seemed to take joy in dragging every aspect of it out as long as possible, draining any value remaining.
