Protect Your Legal Health in 2014 With a Legal Check Up

With the New Year upon us, now is a good time to consider a legal check-up to prevent larger and possibly more expensive problems in the future. Here are some legal checkpoints to consider prepared by the attorneys at Legal Services:

P Reach an understanding. Do not sign a document unless you understand it, agree to it, and receive a photocopy of what you signed (after both parties have signed it).

P Consider future needs. Prepare a durable power of attorney so your family knows your wishes regarding medical treatment in the event you become incapacitated. A form is available on the Missouri Bar website www.mobar.org

P Ignorance is not bliss. Do notignore credit problems. If you are behind on mortgage, credit card or other loan payments, contact your creditor or lender.

P   Be inquisitive. Ask questions and demand answers, especially when closing on a mortgage.

P Avoid title trouble.Do not sign an automobile contract without seeing a title first. Remember: A car purchase can only be completed by transferring the title and delivering it to the buyer.
