Personalized Legal Documents
Prepared for you by Paul Premack

Attorney Paul Premack offers this service so you can order various legal documents online. Each legal document is individually prepared and Emailed to you. These are not "automated cookie cutter" forms, but are written for you with your details by the attorney. Detailed instructions accompany each document, along with a thorough overview of the law and a checklist for properly signing and witnessing.

 

Community Property Survivorship Agreement

$300.00 // Texas law allows you and your spouse to agree that all of your community property will pass to the survivor between you without the need for probate. A Community Property Survivorship Agreement, once filed with your County Clerk, is a giant step toward simplifying the transfer of property ownership when a spouse dies, and can save you a lot of money and time.  Link: More Information. One agreement covers both spouses.

>Order 1 (covers both spouses)    $300.00

 

Durable Power of Attorney

$200.00 each // Durable Power of Attorney delegates authority to the person of your choice. That person can then assist you to manage your property and finances without court intervention. This can help avoid expensive and unpleasant guardianship if you become disabled. This document is available in both "springing" and "direct" versions, and goes well beyond the basic statutory requirements to give you extra flexibility and assistance.

Medical Power of Attorney

$125.00 each // A Medical Power of Attorney is your best tool for receiving uninterrupted quality health care. You may appoint the person of your choice to make medical decisions for you, if and when you become unable to make the decisions yourself. Don't be left to the whims of the medical and legal systems; appoint a trusted agent to see you through difficult health. While this document is available from a variety of sources in its "raw statutory" form, the version available here has been significantly improved, to increase your flexibility and allow you to give explicit instructions to your agent.

It is also designed to accommodate the federal patient privacy rules imposed by the HIPAA law, which is an issue that the "raw statutory" form has not been modified to address.

Directive to Physicians

$50.00 each // Medical care has reached new heights of sophistication. Not always used properly, this allows doctors to maintain a body in life beyond the time nature appointed. If you want your life to end with dignity, a Directive to Physicians is your instructions that your life not be artificially prolonged if your death is unavoidable. Unlike informal "living wills", the Directive to Physicians is fully court enforceable.

Declaration of Guardian

$100.00 each // If you become disabled to the point of needing a guardian, a Declaration of Guardian tells the Judge who you want to have at the helm.

Your Declaration may also tell the Judge who you refuse to have as guardian; your refusal cannot be overridden by anyone.
