So you don’t have your own lawyer?
What an inexcusable luxury!

“I have to check these details with my lawyer”. This phrase sounds important doesn’t it?  A lot of people think that it’s only rich people who can afford to use such phrase, and that for people with average income, the idea of a “personal lawyer” is something they can’t afford. That is a huge mistake!

We are lawyer office with more than 20 years of work experience. Sometimes we have provided advice to people who tell us they have lived to an old age and have never been to a lawyer in their life. And we reply: “You are certainly a very rich person!”

Of course, that is a joke. In our practice we have seen many examples of how carelessness and irresponsibility devastates the career and financial well-being of ordinary people.

You see, no one lives forever, and not everybody’s relatives are angels. For example, an elderly couple came to us recently; they had been together for 30 years. This was a second marriage for each of them and there were children from the first marriage. They have property: an apartment and a car. They asked: What should we do? If one of us dies, how do we leave the property to widowed spouse? “Our children have been waiting for us to die”, said the clients. They had visited several other lawyers before they came to our office. None could resolve the problem.

Classical power of attorney or marriage contracts are of no use here. Only God knows which of them will be gone first. We suggested them to write a mutual last will. She leaves her half to her husband; and he – to his wife.  And after the death of one of them, if the children try to get a share, they would have to go to court. And it’s quite likely that they won’t. They would have to pay, and they might lose.

These days there are often cases where parents can’t “split” their children after a divorce. A classic situation is where one parent wants to move abroad and take the children with them. The other parent refuses permission. Our office has successfully resolved couple of these tricky situations.

So we suggest you all abandon any prejudice that lawyers are only for the rich. If you have any questions at all relating to inheritance, loans against collateral, contracts or really – anything else, don’t be shy, we will help you resolve them!

Whatever you do though, please don’t sign any documents as after the fact it might be too late for us to act efficiently on your behalf. Sometimes it makes you wonder why people are not ashamed to call lawyers, when bailiff stands on their doorstep ready to evict them? Or when an employee who has worked for a month is not paid any salary and let go?

These are without doubt unfortunate and unjust events. It is far better to seek advice as soon as problem or situation arises, than to risk losing thousands of euros, your nerves, time, or even lose your home.

And we recommend you to entrust your lawyer with all the necessary information. Neighbors do not need to know your family secrets, but the lawyer, like the gynecologist or dentist must know everything. As professionals, we will maintain strict privacy.

And you will be able to count on a favorable outcome, even in the most difficult situations.
