I/we specifically bind ourselves, our heirs, agents, assigns and representatives of any kind from taking action against The Law Offices of Jeffrey G. Marsocci, PLLC or its successors in interest from any and all added costs or problems that may result from having only a Last Will and Testament prepared by our firm as opposed to the full simple will package and/or a revocable living trust package.
In consideration for this work, you agree to pay our firm the amount or amounts stated above. This amount applies only to The Simple Will Clinic and is non-transferrable to any other plans offered by The Law Offices of Jeffrey G. Marsocci, PLLC or its successors in interest, which may require a regular estate planning process. FURTHER, you understand that the time with the attorney is limited to your scheduled allotted time on the day of the Clinic. Any additional meeting time required outside of the allotted time, shall be billed at the attorney’s rate of $300.00/hour. If it becomes apparent and/or evident during the course of your estate planning meeting with the attorney that your plan is more complex than what the Simple Will Clinic will allow, that the attorney may cancel The Simple Will documents and provide a refund of your payment for The Simple Will Clinic; at which time, additional information may be obtained and a standard (1.5 hours) meeting can be arranged for a later time.
