Estate Planning Documents Due To Be Shredded At Our Law Firm
Unwanted Estate Planning Documents Will Be Destroyed In An Effort To Go Paperless. Please Contact Us To Retrieve Original Documents
Holzfaster, Cecil. McKnight & Mues is in the process of reducing the amount of files and paper stored at the firm. Therefore, as part of this process, we are shredding old files, some of which are 20+ years old!
Our primary focus now is reviewing all of our estate planning documents and files and returning the original documents to our clients for safekeeping. We are requesting that all clients who have asked us to hold their original estate planning documents to contact us. We want to make arrangements with clients to retrieve them, or authorize their destruction if they are outdated and newer documents have been executed.
What are estate planning documents? They include documents like your Last Will and Testament, Financial Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney for Health Care, Living Wills, and Trusts. If you had any of these documents prepared at HCM&M and asked us to retain the originals, we are asking if you could get in contact with our office and schedule a time to come pick those documents up.
Of course, we are not destroying any of our client’s active original wills, deeds, or estate planning documents. We are only destroying any prior original documents with permission given by clients.
Special Offer For Previous Clients Includes Free Consultation
NOTE: If you are a previous client, and want to review and/or make any changes to your current estate planning documents, HCM&M is offering a FREE CONSULTATION with Attorney Joe Balmer to do so. Just call our office and mention you are a previous client to schedule the initial free consultation. Clients will pay the quoted cost of the preparation of the estate planning documents at the time of signing, if you decide to make changes.
In addition, if there are civil, family law, or other files or documents that we have that you are interested in keeping, please contact us. We will be pleased to coordinate with you their return or destruction (if they are no longer wanted).
If you have any questions at all, you can call and ask for our paralegal, Kaylyn Hohn, at the office: (937)-293-2141. We appreciate your help in our firm’s efforts to go paperless!
