Thanks, bpcyclist! It was an over hour-long zoom meeting. The lawyer seemed personable and professional, and hopefully trustworthy. A little fast-talking, which made it tough for me to follow with my brain as it is, today. My brother was fine. Nevertheless, it was a lot to process. The fee options weren't really that bad, considering. We just need this pandemic to ease quickly. We may even try to get this going before it lets up. It's hard to have a family meeting during this time.

That's great that your father has few worries. We thought my father's financial situation was much better than it is, but we discovered financial mismanagement, some financial exploitation, and hyperspending affected that. We just want to protect his house and property and have a plan in mind for various care options for him. We may or may not do a "nest egg" protection. Maybe. In any case, we need to get some of the holdings into a trust. It would be best if my sister took control over his major financials. We all trust her. We're not counting on any big inheritance. We just want protections for our dad, and some guaranteed reasonable care situation for the future.
