Attorney Hospital Visits in Gainesville, FL
Unfortunately, our clients are not always able to physically come to our office to execute documents. In those instances, we offer on-site execution services. This means we can visit hospitals, assisted living facilities, rehab centers, nursing homes, and residences to help our clients get their affairs in order.
When a client cannot come to the office, the first appointment is typically over the phone. In this appointment, we learn what documents are needed. We then draft those documents to your specifications and schedule a time to see you in person.
Hospital Visits
Hospital patients often find themselves in need of estate planning documents. These documents most often include wills, power of attorney instruments, living wills, and designations of health care surrogate. Each of these documents can be executed in the hospital if the patient has sufficient mental capacity.
Most estate planning documents require witnesses and notarization. Unfortunately, hospital staff are often banned from witnessing documents. Thus, we provide the witnesses and notary when we visit. We then take the documents back to our office to make as many copies as you desire and send them to whomever you wish.
Home Visits
In addition to hospitals, we also visit personal residences, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation centers to execute documents. We try to ensure that everyone has access to an estate planning attorney when needed. So, if you need a visit from a Gainesville lawyer, please give us a call.
How Much Does a Attorney Visit Cost?
We generally charge an additional flat fee of $500 for visits within city limits. However, if immediate assistance is needed or if the location is a significant distance from our office, the fee may be higher. This fee is in an addition to the cost of the estate planning documents.
