A durable power of attorney is a document that is used as a legal way to appoint some one to act on your behalf if you become incapacitated. To get one you can go down to your county’s courthouse and pay a ‘print fee’ for a copy for one. An even easier way to get one though is by going online and finding a durable POA form you can fill out at home on your PC then print out yourself; theirs many sites out there that offer these kind of fillable forms.

Foreign Trademark Filing: What You Need to Know in a Nutshell
This is what I hear from many clients: “the trademark you filed for us will protect us in foreign countries too, right? Wrong! As with patents, trademark registrations only cover the country in which they are filed. So your US trademark application will only bestow trademark rights in the United States and not beyond. Therefore, in order to protect your trademarked word or design in Japan, or Germany, or whatever country you’re concerned about, you will need to file a trademark application in each of those countries. This can get costly very quickly. But wait, there is a solution

Debitor audits have returned to Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases.
Although it does not come with a great shock, debtor audits in Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases have returned. The U.S Trustee has commenced debtor audits as of May 12, 2008.
Isn’t the U.S. Trustee technically doing debtor audits when bringing 2004 Exam Subpoenas? Isn’t the U.S. Trustee already seeking tax documentation and proof of income through these 2004 Exam Subpoenas? Of course. However, they are not technically considered audits as mandated in Section 603(a) of Public Law 109-8, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.

Foreign Patent Filing and PCT Applications
I. Why to Foreign File?
Many people think that there is an all encompassing international patent;
unfortunately, there really is not. Your U.S. filed patent application is only good in the United States. Thus, in order to obtain foreign patent rights, you must file separately in each foreign country because the patent laws of each country are different. With that understood, Patent Cooperation Treaty applications (PCT) can be filed designating multiple foreign countries. This is discussed in further detail in section II below.

Why You Need a Will
Posted on May 12, 2008 - Filed Under Law | Leave a Comment
This article describes how someone’s property is distributed under the intestacy laws of Pennsylvania should they die without a valid Will.
There’s an old adage that a person either devises his own plan in life or ends up as part of someone else’s. Because 50%-60% of the population never executes a Will, the majority of us will allow our state legislature to determine who is most deserving of our money, belongings, and real estate when we die. Why do otherwise intelligent people who work and save their whole lives fail to plan for the inevitable? Are we that trusting, that apathetic, that fearful, that cheap?
