Never, Ever UnStaple a Will

This morning I received a call from somebody whose parent had passed away this year.

She told me that she found the Last Will & Testament of the parent.

I asked her if she could bring me the Will so I could go over it

She volunteered that she was about to take the Will apart to make me a copy

I replied, DON’’T DO THAT  Do Not take the staples out of that Will !

If the staples are removed, how do we know if the Will has been altered? It could prevent the Will from being admitted to Probate.

So, if you find the Will of a loved one, PLEASE do not remove the staples or make any marks on the Will.

Bring it to me, or to your attorney of choice so that the contents can be explained to you.

It is free to meet with me for the initial consultation
