OK, now that we’ve got the formalities out of the way, let me tell you something: Many, many legal resources are available to you on the internet. This can be a very good thing, as the law is not a secret and each person should be able to learn more about their potential options. This can also be a bad thing, as many forms available on the internet are overly vague and, if they’re even there, have badly defined terms.
Please, for the love of the lack of snow in Alabama today, do NOT get your divorce papers, adoption papers, powers of attorney, or anything important like that from the internet. Use the internet for research. Research is a good thing. Use your local attorney for PAPERS THAT MATTER.
And a little more free advice for Alabamians: Just because you have a power of attorney does not mean that anyone else in the state has to honor it. It is a courtesy, not a right.
And one tiny little pet peeve: Why, if you have lots of money in your bank account, and you want Darling to have access to it, would you not A) add Darling as joint or B) pay your charming local attorney the $50 it’ll cost you to get a real power of attorney?
