 Things we don't think about with E & O
Posted by Lee/AR on 10/31/23 8:40am

Feb., this year, I notarized a self-proving Aff. for a man's Will & a POA (GNW). In July, got called in to testify in court--and followed the oft-repeated advice to contact E & O carrier. At court, was kept in hall until called to testify. Had no idea what the problem was, but figured out by the questions that apparently the Will-maker died and his Will was being contested and all the court wanted to know was whether or not I 'knew' the Will maker or witnesses. Nope, ID'd 'em all via D.L. And was the Will-maker alert & aware of what he was signing. He sure was! That was it.

Just got a letter from E& O carrier, that my E&O insurance is considered a 'burning limits' policy and my coverage has now been reduced by the carrier-hired attorney fee of $712.50. What did I get for $712.50 fee? A phone call from law firm telling me to 'go to court voluntarily or I would be subpoenaed to do so'.
