Hi Stephanie. Next time please feel free to call my office. I did not receive your comment until long after you had posted it. I hope the report was a huge success.

Hello, my name is Stephanie Fonseca and I’m doing a report on the underreporting of elder abuse for one of my communications classes at the University of Phoenix. I’d like to do an interview regarding things that surround elder abuse from your stand point, would that be possible? I would really appreciate any time you may have to offer. Thanks again.

Comment on Pet Trusts Arrive in Massachusetts by Kristina

You have some freedoms within the trust to make it less desirable for the caretaker to put the animal down. For example, if the animal passes, regardless of whether its by natural causes or euthanized, the caretaker no longer gets support payments. So it’s in caretaker’s best interest to keep the animal alive. You can designate the balance of the trust fund to an animal shelter or rescue group.

Hey Kristina,

Such a great article! It got me thinking, and now I have a question. You mentioned in the post about the animal passing away, but how? What if the caretaker decides to euthanize the animal? Does this new law prevent a caretaker from doing such a thing (I hope!)?

Curious! Seems like such a great thing to be able to do for your furry loved ones!

Comment on Online Legal Documents Company (LegalZoom) Sued Over Flawed Estate Plan by Kristina

Hi Lewis. Thank you for commenting. You are very right to be concerned about the will you had drafted on Legal Zoom. However, I am licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, unfortunately not in Florida. I suggest you contact a local estate planning attorney for an estate plan review. Or you may contact my office and I can find a lawyer for you.

Just noticed today (1/29/11)while reviewing my will that was done in 2009 through Legal Zoom:
It appears that the legal representative that I selected is invalid in the state of Fl. due to fl. stat.733.304 (He is neither a relative nor reside in Fl.)
If I had died, would my Executor be invalidated?
Would my will become invalidated?
Would it really mess things up?

Comment on Proposed Massachusetts Legislation Could Change the Way Assets are Counted for MassHealth by Yvonne Decelis

I think this is a WONDERFUL idea and would like to know what, if anything, has happened with this so far. I am a student at UMass Boston and am taking a course called “Participation in Government”. Our final project is to write a press-release type document about a law that has been or will be proposed to the MA Legislature. I would LOVE it if I could work with this.
