INSTRUCTIONS
You must prepare the following documents: (1) a simple will, (2) a durable power of attorney, (3) an advanced medical directive, and (4) a memo. To draft these documents, you should visit a local law library and reference a form book. You should also reference your textbook to ensure that your documents include all the necessary clauses.
Your memo should be brief but should explain the following details: (1) the state you chose, (2) the reason you chose to draft a particular form over another form, and (3) the reasons for your choices in the documents. For example, if you are drafting documents governed by Massachusetts, you would explain that you chose to use a health care surrogate since Massachusetts does not recognize living wills.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool
