Thomas W. Harrison

I approached Dye Harrison to create a trust for my mother under her durable power of attorney. The DPOA clearly gives me the authority to establish and fund a trust, and the purpose was to protect a financially vulnerable beneficiary while keeping my mother’s estate plan exactly as she intended.The f...irm refused to proceed, stating they were uncomfortable creating a trust under a DPOA, even though the document explicitly authorizes it. Their reluctance left me without needed legal support and forced me to find another attorney.In my experience, the firm was not helpful, did not offer alternatives, and did not seem familiar with the scope of authority granted in a properly drafted Florida DPOA
