Can anyone recommend a good Hagerstown estate planning attorney? Someone who knows estate laws but doesn't charge like they're practicing in Hollywood? Someone who could answer questions regarding handling financial aspects of the advance estate planning for out-of-state (PA) parents.

Thanks in advance!

recently for my MIL. She lives here, though-not PA. But she might be able to recommend someone. She got my MIL to sign a POA and make out a will--it was wonderful.

I think our own Chip Stewart does that kind of work... maybe pm him?

I've used Drummond (can't think of her first name) years ago (she's in the old library bldg on Summit across from the court house annex.

oh yeah, maybe it is chip, not charlie... sorry chip.. when i think of you, i think beer and cookies...

Yes, I do focus primarily on wills, trusts, and estate planning. I can't practice in PA, though, yet. I'll make some calls and get some names for you. What area of PA?

Well, my wife and I are in MD, the parent is in Greencastle. Not sure if we need a lawyer who can practice in both states or what. I'm legally challenged...

Call me at my office - 240.625.9455. Let it right a few times so it'll forward to me as I'm working from home for the next few days (to work with the new puppy - pix to come).

Do you do WV Chip?

Not yet. That's the tough part about practicing in this area. Both PA and WV require me to take the full bar exam from scratch. I might have to hit the books again! I'll ask around if you let me know what area in WV.

I've emailed some colleagues and will forward you names when I get them.

Thanks muchly, Chip. If it were an all-MD thing I think I'd already have a lawyer...

ditto

Any luck on those names, Chip? The wife is getting antsy and I might have to resort to the dreaded yellow pages...

getting antsy?? sheesh. beware funny tasting coffee and odd smelling pillows, dude.... she may have it out for ya! lol.
