Important Disclosures & Disclaimers for Legal Services

Before engaging with the services offered at Woodstone Law, it is essential for all our clients to be fully aware of and understand several key disclaimers. These disclaimers are in place to ensure transparency and clarity in our legal engagement. We strongly encourage all potential clients to thoroughly read and comprehend the following disclaimers, as they outline important aspects of our service, including the scope of our advice, confidentiality commitments, and the dynamic nature of legal regulations. This understanding is fundamental to establishing a well-informed and effective attorney-client relationship. We encourage clients to approach our services with these considerations in mind.

Notice to Adult Children Seeking Will and POA Services for their Elderly Parents

In situations where adult children contact Woodstone Law for estate planning services on behalf of their elderly parents, it is important to note that our firm strictly adheres to the law society's rules and our own policy regarding confidentiality. Legal discussions are exclusively conducted with the client themselves, ensuring that all communications and meetings are confidential and held solely with the client.

Should both you and your parent decide to engage our services, each party will be treated as an individual client. Consequently, we will discuss your legal matters independently with you, and separately with your parent regarding theirs. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

To adhere to these confidentiality protocols, we kindly request that you provide us with your parent's direct contact information (phone number and email) that is solely accessible by them. Please email this information to Woodstone Law. We will then initiate contact with your parent directly.

Confidentiality Assurance

It is essential for clients to provide complete and candid disclosure to their legal counsel. This level of transparency is crucial for the accurate evaluation of your case, enabling us to devise the most effective strategy and plan tailored to your specific needs. As reiterated in our Retainer Agreement, we at Woodstone Law are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all information shared with us. The confidentiality of your information is a cornerstone of our professional duty, and it will be upheld unless you provide explicit or implicit authorization for disclosure, or in circumstances where disclosure is mandated by law, requested by our insurers, ordered by the Court, or necessary for debt collection purposes. This commitment underscores our dedication to preserving the trust and integrity essential in the attorney-client relationship.

Fee Adjustment for Customized Requests

For clients seeking personalized adjustments to their Wills and Powers of Attorney, our firm will provide specific fee quotes tailored to these customization requests. This approach ensures transparency in pricing and allows clients to make informed decisions based on the extent and nature of the customizations desired. Each modification request will be evaluated individually, and the corresponding fee will reflect the complexity and scope of the work involved. Our aim is to provide clear and upfront cost information, enabling clients to understand the financial implications of their bespoke legal requirements.

Our Process

Finalizing Your Documents

Upon your approval of the drafts, we will arrange a meeting, either in-person or virtual, at your convenience. During this scheduled session, a lawyer will oversee the formal signing and completion of your estate documents. You will be provided with both the original signed copy of the documents as well as with an electronic version for your records. Additionally, within two weeks following the signing, you will receive a comprehensive report of the services completed and future recommendations.

Document Preparation and Review

Following the submission of the questionnaire and the remittance of the retainer fee, we will allocate a period of two weeks to thoroughly review and prepare your estate documents. An electronic draft of these documents will be made available to you for your thorough review. Should you have any inquiries or wish to request modifications, please inform us and we will complete the changes. We are committed to refining the documents to accurately reflect your intentions.
