Southfield Lawyer donates to Erin Cummings ‘Mittens for Detroit’ charity.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southfield, Michigan (10:37am) January 4, 2011

    The New Year is one of the coldest times in the Detroit area. Actress Erin Cummings of ABC's hit show "Detroit 187" has come up with a wonderful way to give back to the people of Detroit. Even with the Detroit economy in a slump, local Southfield attorney (Detroit estate planning attorney and Michigan Probate Litigator), Joseph J. Dadich, Esq. takes time to donate for a good cause.

We caught up with Southfield lawyer and noted author, Joseph J. Dadich (online wills, asset protection, guardianship in Oakland county, and conservatorships in Oakland county) on how others can affect change in their hometown. The Southfield Lawyer stated '. . . My firm wanted to make an impact by donating some gloves and mittens to a great charity. Which was started by the star actress of "Detroit 187" Erin Cummings."

    Crains Detroit Business reports that Cummings was passing out Halloween candy at her cousin's house in Detroit when she encountered a young trick-or-treater in tears because she was cold and only had one glove.

    The situation inspired Cummings to warm up Detroit's needy residents with "Mittens for Detroit." Her charity will "collect and distribute new gloves and mittens to needy Detroit children and adults."

"After the way the city of Detroit has opened its arms to me, the least I can do is give something back," Cummings said.

Southfield Lawyer’s annual Bucket List for 2011 includes – Slaying a Dragon?

Breaking News

Southfield, MI 4:37pm

Every year we go through the most ridiculous bucket lists. This year we have a real treat for you. We looked at some pretty interesting and relatively level-headed and reachable goals. Then we found the 2011 Bucket List for a Detroit Estate Planning Attorney (Oakland County Probate Attorney) that has raised the bar for many wills and trusts lawyers Oakland County.

    Empowering Women Now! Media revealed that has of the new year, we have a Dragon Slayer as his #1 goal for 2011. We sought out an explanation for what this means from Joseph J. Dadich, Esq., Detroit Estate Planning Attorney (asset protection, wills, trusts, life insurance, financial powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney).

    His response was enlightening and funny at the same time. "Too many times in business you try to stay at the same level as your competitor's. As Detroit Estate Planning Attorney and Oakland County Probate Attorney I've tried for a number of years to 'Slay the Dragon' of big business. Too many online wills and other Southfield Lawyers fail to re-invent themselves and the consumer is stuck with a 1990's approach."

    He went on to state ". . . So in my 2011 Annual Bucket List I'm slaying the proverbial dragon this year thru my new book 'Celebrity Estate Plans Gone Bad – Secrets Every Woman Needs to Prevent Emotional and Financial Turmoil When a Loved One Dies'.

"I had a lot of great feedback from the Women who's estate plans we are creating for them and clients we have already placed in this program." Our Wills and Trusts Lawyers Oakland County, Michigan Probate Litigator, Detroit Estate Planning Attorney, Southfield Attorney, finished with "I wish for a great new year for everyone and health and happiness for 2011!'

Probate Insider reveals true story of evil Step kids attempt to steal hard-earned assets; steps to prevent miscarriage of justice.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southfield, Michigan (10:37am) November 5, 2010

Michigan Probate Records reveal that a step mother was being sued by her step-kids (ages 15 to 20) after the death of her spouse. As a Woman, you put your love and heart into a family to teach not just your own kids but step-kids too. And as if having Cancer was not enough for this family we reveal steps this responsible Woman took to prevent emotional and financial turmoil.

You might be surprised to know that most Southfield Michigan attorney advice centers around a standard Wills, do it yourself wills, and living trusts. Since most estate plans created by wills and trusts lawyer in Oakland county
fail 15 critical points. Yet there is still fear of being taken advantage that can last for years after the death of a spouse. "It was very humiliating and stressful once my husband died at age of 48. Because the first thought on his kids mind was 'Where's OUR money'? I never thought this could happen to me." Says one courageous Woman who didn't want to be identified.

At a recent conference we asked Southfield MI attorney and wills and trusts lawyer in Oakland county, Joseph J. Dadich, what this Woman did right and what should more Women like her do to to prevent this fear and from being taken advantage of. Mr. Dadich went on to state "You are 93% more likely to have your plan fail if your 'Emergency Estate Plan' ™ and Wills, do it yourself wills, and living trusts misses the critical points." "It's not a matter of 'if' this will happen, but 'When'." The most critical component of this Woman's will and trust centered around our 'Casanova Clause'™

Reading an excerpt from Mr. Dadich's new book: "Without the golden handcuffs a surviving spouse may squander those assets. . . "

Don't wait until it's too late to get your Will, do it yourself will, living trust, power of attorney, medical power of attorneycreated to protect your most prized possessions and prevent depression from setting in.

Joe Jackson accuses AEG – and others – of keeping Michael away from family– the estate planning magic and tricks to make sure this doesn’t happen to you.

 

Imagine this: Dr. Murray – the now infamous Dr. who may be indicted for Michael Jackson's death – was one of a few enablers around Michael Jackson. But who hired him? Did AEG hire him? We take a look at how this might affect the average 'Joe' family.

Now that we see how it is with Michael's camp, what if this was your family

 

We set out to address questions you have asked time and time again. Is there anything you can do before a family member dies and their assets are siphoned off. If you wait too long, there may be very little one can do.

 

"We typically see this with elderly clients. One family member has access and motive to make sure Mom or Dad's bank accounts, insurance, or other assets are not all of a sudden changed to that child's name." States Joseph J. Dadich, attorney and probate litigator from his West Bloomfield office in Michigan.

He reiterated a few key points for our readers/listeners, "There is a list of items a family should be weary of to decide if a conservatorship is needed over the elderly family member"

1.    Does individual drive?

2.    How often is the enabler over their home? Do they take them everywhere? Including Dr's, other lawyers?

3.    Do they have name on bank account as co-signer?

4.    Does the individual always keep elderly away from others? Ie. Do your phone calls get returned? Is there always 'something' when you try to go over to their home/apartment?

5.     Does this individual have ALL documents or mail sent to their own home? (you should check with a fake letter and see where the mail goes)

6.     Who takes them to the Dr's office? Who gets their prescriptions?

"These are all factors to watch out for when a loved one may be in harm's way. With Dr. Murray it's being alleged that AEG did not allow others to be around Michael Jackson for some period of time (check out Larry King to Nancy Grace and Bill O'Reilly are all still talking about Michael Jackson). Even Michael's dad – Joe Jackson – is now alleging that AEG had something to do with the death."

"The trick here is if you or a loved one feels this way you need to get a conservatorship – or at least petition the probate court in that county. ."

Mr. Dadich is an Attorney/CPA and created the '20 Minute Emergency Estate Planning Blueprint for baby boomer's'tm and has litigated more than 700 cases, including trying probate contests. Visit Mr. Dadich's blog at 248.358.6965 office for interviews.

Dane Cook gone crazy? As his comedy would dictate, he is now getting some of his emotions out in the open, from having his parents pass away in the past couple years, and it makes for great comedy. (along with a perfect time to actually do some planning). Read more below…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Detroit, Michigan (Hollywood of Midwest) (10:37am) June 9, 2009

 

 

Can you imagine having a parent tell you they have 'Cancer'? I know many family's go through this in America. But when Dane Cook (www.danecook.com) heard about it, it was the beginning of what some may all a 2^nd act to his already famous comedy routines and movies (like My Best Friend's Girl, MR. Brooks, Farce of the Penguins, Good luck Chuck, and Dan in Real Life).

 

We asked Mr. Joseph J. Dadich (an Attorney and CPA) Celebrity-Insider, about the end-of-life process. He said "Dane is not married, and has no kids." "So one would assume that he doesn't need ANY estate planning in place." "If anything this complicates things, since he may want only a portion of his estate to be inherited by his Brother or Sisters. Since one must look at whether or not these siblings have any creditor's, a divorce waiting in the wings, or worse bankruptcy coming up for one of his siblings." "His best option would be to create a VIP Revocable Living Trust to be able to control her assets, nominate who he wants to control his hard-earned assets. But this only hits half the battle."

 

He went on to further state "One key critical item is to get this all done before she loses her mental capacity or a court may decide. (after all we did just see Bret Michaels (Rock of Love, VHI show http://www.vh1.com/shows/rock_of_love/season_3/series.jhtml) where he was hit on the head, broke his nose." Further, the other matter comes with a potential Estate Tax to the government (which starts at 48% of assets over $3.5mm; but it gets worse as you'll see later) and who pays it. Do you think Dane wants to pay the government any more than he has to? Moreover, he has to be careful that if her Trust names a Charity as a beneficiary it may cause her IRA/Retirement Plan to be taxed up to 70% of it's value and paid out almost immediately. So as you can see if proper planning is not provided it can be disastrous."

 

We asked attorney Joseph J. Dadich, Esq. - who created the '20 Minute Emergency Estate Planning Blueprint'tm – what steps can she take right now.

" This is the unfortunate part about not seeing an attorney who specializes in protecting family's hard-earned assets. And even in Anna's case she had an attorney. Who didn't know a lick of estate planning nor was there any updates provided. This is a ripe opportunity for Dane to take his life into his control and ensure his assets do not get into the hands of the greedy empire, evil creditor's.

3 Myths about your ‘Living Will’ that will knock your socks off!

If there is one Estate Document you give your fullest attention to, it should be your Living Will. Consider the possibilities. You (or one you love) are hospitalized, helpless, and unable to speak for yourself. Doctors, nurses and your family members are making critical decisions on your behalf. Should you be kept on a respirator? Should a feeding tube be inserted? You could even be drifting in and out of consciousness during this process – aware of what is going on but completely unable to do anything about it.

 

Your might know now what you do and do not want done, but if you haven't put it in writing, all bets are off.

 

Your Living Will is the document that directs what your end-of-life wishes are: Do you want to stay on life-support? Do you want a breathing tube used? Should you be given food or water?

 

"Food and water," you may ask:

"What's that got to do with it?"

YOU MAY BE JUST LIKE MANY OF OUR CLIENTS:

Do you remember the famous

Terri Schiavo case?

 

The problem here was that Mrs. Schiavo had never prepared a Living Will. Her husband claimed to have had conversations with her that included her wishes not to be kept on life-support. But without the correct documentation, such evidence was not considered adequate.

Myths about the Living Will –

 

Myth One: This is the document that states how you want your property to go upon your passing.

Myth 2 – This is the document that nominates your personal representative.

 

Neither one of these is true.

Way too many of the documents I review are slapped together with no customization. This can cause families to fight and eventually fall apart. Also, if your current Living Will is too old, it may be out of date. This could mean some health care institutions might not even honor it!

 

 

BONUS SECRET:

Estate Planning is ALL about OPTIONS. It's like the trail you used to take going home from school when you were a child. If you went one way, the bully and his gang might have been there. If you went another way, you didn't have to face the bully, but it took you 28 more minutes. When choosing your source for legal advice, pick the attorney who will give you customized attention. I'm shocked that less than 14% of true Estate Planning attorneys have customizable software for you the client!

 

 

"Man cannot live without food and water, so

why doesn't your Living Will state this?"

Never Forget this…

What's this about food and water . . . the basic elements of life? In my experience, more than 98% of Wills and Trusts I review DO NOT have this basic item. Go look at your Medical Health Care Directive and Living Will. Find out if you will have food and water as part of your end-of-life care.

 

Or consider this: Mom is in a second marriage with "Casanova"? Who makes the decisions? You want what's best for Mom, but the new beau may want something else.

 

Family members would obviously say, "We thought Mom wanted to make sure she had food and water to sustain her? But her . . .

 

    LARGE PROBATE COSTS ARE THE END RESULT

 

Keep these points in mind:

Make sure you're the one calling the shots in the hospital room. No one needs this kind of problem!

 

• A Living Will should say if you want to be kept alive by a feeding tube or not. But Living Wills signed before July, 1991 don't talk about being in a coma or being fed by tubes.
  
• There is an alarming trend to define food and water as "medical
  treatments" which can be considered optional for a given patient rather than ordinary care to which all are entitled.
  
• Today patients are in more danger of under-treatment than overtreatment, especially dependent persons in institutionalized situations. There are major financial incentives for health care providers to undertreat patients.
  
• A Poorly drafted Living Will may weigh the law in favor of death rather than life. Yours may not give you the power to choose life saving treatment or even food and water.
  
• Today's hospital patients, (even if they are non-terminal) are in increasing danger of being deprived of beneficial medical treatment and even food and water.

Why Suze Orman, among others, are dead wrong about Estate Planning

I'm not sure if it's a part of the brain that tells someone ' I have to tell everyone everything I know and everything I think I know.' That is the case with this misleading part of Suze Orman's new book (Money and something, I can't seem to recall) it's on page 175 in case someone is questioning what I'm talking about.

First off, I'm not sure when she received her J.D., pass a bar exam, practice law, created an estate planning system to protect a family's assets, but it seems someone of her persuasion should know better. It's bad enough I've seen financial advisors (whom I respect) have clients that actually show me their 'Medical Power of Attorney' that was provided to them from their advisor. And if you didn't catch this part, financial advisors should never be in the business of providing legally binding documents or attempting to quote prices just because (well Jimmy down the street sells them for xzy.')

And I know we all have 'bad apples' in our groups, but this is not just misleading, the consequences could make sure a loved one doesn't get the proper medical advice or worse yet, access to medical documents 'when they need it.' I'll get to that a little bit,

2ndly, she actually states 'there are 3 main estate planning documents' which is the worse legal estate planning advice an estate planning attorney could make (and many of you who are clients know about our '20 Minute Emergency Estate Planning Blueprint'tm that I created so you are empowered with this knowledge and should pass it on, I digress) let alone a financial advisor with a large audience.

Here is the key, There are at least '5 Critical Documents' Will, Trust, VIP financial power of attorney, Medical Healthcare Power of Attorney, and the only form that can actually save your life 'Life-Saving Medical Release Document', if you have small kids, you need to go above and beyond just naming 'guardians/conservators' we created a program called 'Emergency Child Protection Program'tm to name emergency responders and temporary guardians, not to mention a whole planning kit to describe how your kids should be raised when you are gone.

I don't think I read ANY OF THAT, in the alleged guru's book, in fact I know it's not there.

Like the sign says 'Read at your own risk'

To your health and wellness!
