Attorney website videos are ideal to inform prospects on the various services your firm offers and provides. In the below example attorney Mara Raven Spence, from the Jordan Balkema Elder Law Center discusses guardians or conservators.
[youtube_sc url=”http://youtu.be/DV9rzTjZptw” title=”attorney%20website%20videos” rel=”0″]

Guardians and conservators make decisions regarding the personal and financial affairs, respectively, of such incapacitated persons.
Mara Raven Spence focuses on probate and trust administration. The Buy Local Video Profile work great for attorney website videos.
At the Jordan Balkema Elder Law Center they help you understand the laws and in setting up the proper course of action when dealing with guardians, trusts and wills. From the video profile and the Elder Law Center website you learn: What is a Fiduciary? Are there any alternatives to a Guardian / Conservator? What are the powers and duties of a Guardian? Does a Guardian receive compensation? We are dealing with personal issues. DW Video‘s Buy Local Video Profiles provide a personal touch to providing information to prospects and customers.
Attorney Spence does a nice job of personalizing the message. She also goes on to state, “If you are appointed a conservator you must file an inventory with the probate court within 56 days of your appointment. You must also file an annual report with the court that explains the finances throughout that year, and that must be served on all of the interested person in the matter: “what are my rights as a beneficiary through a will or trust?”
Good information, personal touch, get to know the attorney that will be helping you…. priceless. It is important that the conservator who wishes to be compensated keep accurate time records and be able to demonstrate to the court that the services
were both necessary and beneficial. To learn more contact the Jordan Balkema Elder Law Center at 1-800-395-4347.
