I ENGAGED MR.TAFT TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF A SEASHORE PROPERTY TO MY TWO CHILDREN VIA A LIFE ESTATE. THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE PROCEDURE WHICH A LAYMAN COULD PROBABLY ACCOMPLISH, BUT IN VIEW OF VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, I CHOSE TO USE AN ATTORNEY. MY INSTRUCTIONS WERE DETAILED AND VERY SPECIFIC, BUT MR. TAFT IGNORED THEM AND DID IT HIS WAY(WITHOUT CONSULTING ME OR GIVING AN EXPLANATION). FOR EXAMPLE INSTEAD OF NAMING MY CHILDREN AS "JOINT TENANTS WITH RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP" AS I SPECIFIED HE TITLED THE DEED AS "TENANTS IN COMMON." THERE IS A BIG LEGAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO DEED TITLES. MR. TAFT ALSO INSERTED A CLAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE TRANSFERRED THE PROPERTY TO MY CHILDREN NOT AT MY DEATH, BUT ANY TIME I SPENT THREE WEEKS IN A HOSPITAL. THESE AND OTHER CHANGES WERE NEVER DISCUSSED WITH ME AND I DID NOT GET TO EVEN SEE THEM UNTIL THE CLOSING. FORTUNATELY I DID READ THE LIFE ESTATE DOCUMENT BEFORE IT WAS EXECUTED AND RECORDED SO THAT I WAS ABLE TO HIRE A DIFFERENT AND COMPETENT ATTORNEY.
