Last week the topic of discussion was changes to the law. The changes that we discussed involve VA benefit law; and, Michigan Powers of Attorney.
In my last post, I discussed the Senate hearings regarding VA benefits. Although I work with financial planners to support benefit planning, I often question the motives of planners that will not work with an accredited attorney to “drive” the benefit planning process. Often such “planners” lose sight of the real reason most of us are involved with benefit planning…to help people in need of benefits.
The second topic of discussion was about new Michigan law. A few weeks back, Governor Snyder signed a new power of attorney bill into law. Although the law will not affect documents executed prior to October 12, 2012, it is advisable to review your power of attorney documents and update them accordingly.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these topics, please call for a free consultation.
