Today's side deal helps keep your brain from being inserted into any future Frankensteins: for $99, you get a will and durable power of attorney from the Law Offices of Craig S. Redler & Associates, LLC (a $750 value). If, after consultation, you decide that a will is not for you, you're welcome to use the full value of this Groupon toward other estate planning or general legal services.

A will coupled with power of attorney allows you to retain control of your estate and wealth even after you've died or decided to take a 30-year nap. Together, you and Redler will forge a legally binding document that specifies who inherits what and how your life accomplishments should be preserved, paid, or parceled out. Power of attorney, meanwhile, authorizes a designated party to speak on your behalf and to act as an advocate for your interests even when you're playing ping-pong with death in a persistent vegetative state. It's the most logical way to plan for the future and the only way to ensure that your priceless collection of vice-presidential action figures won't be carelessly sold off by an unappreciative family.

A 1994 graduate of the Washington University School of Law, Craig S. Redler puts 15 years of St. Louis experience behind every service rendered. Redler's supremely adroit work in estate planning and asset protection was the inspiration for the John Grisham novel Protected Assets, which will soon be adapted into a major motion picture starring Gilbert Gottfried and Fran Drescher. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements, so consider character, comportment, and rock-hardness of abs as well with today's side deal.
