Estate Planning Is More Than Paperwork
Comprehensive estate planning is more than just paperwork. It is about having the right team by your side when it matters most. At Fishbein Law Group, we believe proper estate planning goes beyond document preparation. It means being there for you and your family during medical or life crises, day or night.
More than 20 years ago, Fishbein Law Group introduced its Emergency Hotline Telephone Program so that clients, their families, and other important related parties could reach us during times of urgent need.
Immediate Access in a Crisis
This valuable service is provided at no cost because we understand how critical support can be during difficult moments. The Emergency Hotline Program gives clients immediate access to important legal documents, including Medical Powers of Attorney and HIPAA Releases, which can be sent to hospitals and medical professionals as needed. We also help guide your Alternate or Successor Trustees and Powers of Attorney on the steps they may need to take to manage medical, legal, and estate matters effectively. We call this crisis management.
We provide clients with Emergency Hotline Program business cards that include the hotline number, (888) 981-2582. This program ensures that you, your family, and other significant persons can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering peace of mind when help is needed most.
As part of the Emergency Hotline Program, we also provide a Confidential Estate Questionnaire containing important personal, medical, and financial information. This document can be extremely helpful to family members, Alternate or Successor Trustees, and Powers of Attorney during times of crisis. You can download this form from our website, complete it, and make it accessible to your loved ones, again at no cost and with no obligation.
Please call our office to learn more about the Emergency Hotline Telephone Program and the benefits it provides to you and your family during times of crisis. This important service is offered entirely free of charge because Fishbein Law Group believes in going beyond paperwork to provide the personal support you need.
