Mention promo code HOLIDAYPOA when booking with Jo-Ann K. Takara to receive free Powers of Attorney — a $1,700 value!
This holiday season, we’re giving the gift of peace of mind.
From now until January 1, 2026, mention promo code HOLIDAYPOA to receive free Powers of Attorney (a $1,700 value) when you meet with our Associate Attorney, Jo-Ann K. Takara.
It’s the perfect time to make sure your estate plan is up to date — and that your Powers of Attorney reflect current Hawaii law. The state’s rules changed in 2014, and older “Durable” Powers of Attorney may no longer be accepted by financial institutions. Don’t wait until it’s too late to find out.
Jo-Ann will review your estate plan, ensure your Powers of Attorney meet today’s standards, and help you protect your loved ones through every season of life.
DISCLAIMER:
Offer valid for new or existing clients meeting with Associate Attorney Jo-Ann K. Takara only. Free Powers of Attorney apply to standard individual or couple documents, up to two clients per family. Must mention promo code HOLIDAYPOA at booking. Powers of Attorney include one Statutory Durable Power of Attorney and one Advance Health Care Directive document. Promotion subject to review of estate plan. Other services are billed at standard rates. Available while supplies last (meeting availability). A $1,700 value based on typical fees for Power of Attorney packages. Cannot be combined with other discounts. Offer expires January 1, 2026. Not transferable, not applicable to prior engagements.
Holiday POA Promotion
Additional Disclaimer Language
1. No Automatic Attorney–Client Relationship
Participation in this promotion and receipt of complimentary documents does not create an attorney–client relationship with our firm or with Jo-Ann K. Takara beyond the limited scope of preparing the promotional Power of Attorney documents. An attorney–client relationship will be established only after execution of a separate written engagement agreement.
2. No Ongoing Legal Representation or Retainer
This promotion does not place our firm or any attorney on retainer, nor does it obligate the firm to provide ongoing legal advice, updates, or future representation. Any additional legal services beyond preparation of the promotional documents require a separate engagement and are billed at standard rates.
3. Limited Scope of Services
The complimentary documents provided under this promotion are limited to one Statutory Durable Power of Attorney and one Advance Health Care Directive per client (or per couple, up to two clients). Preparation of these documents is offered as a limited-scope service only and does not include comprehensive estate-planning review, tax advice, trust drafting, litigation, or any other legal matters unless separately agreed to in writing.
4. No Guarantee of Completeness of Estate Plan
Powers of Attorney alone do not constitute a complete estate plan. You may require additional legal instruments, such as a will, revocable living trust, asset-transfer documents, or probate-avoidance planning, to ensure proper protection of your estate and loved ones.
5. Client Responsibility and Potential Waiver of Protections
If you decline to proceed with a comprehensive estate plan after consultation, you acknowledge that you may lack important legal protections, including those typically provided by wills, trusts, or other planning documents. By choosing not to proceed, you understand and accept responsibility for any resulting gaps in your estate planning.
6. Document Validity and Client Duties
Validity and acceptance of the complimentary documents may depend on proper execution, notarization, and compliance with Hawaii law. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that their documents are executed, stored, and used correctly.
7. No Assurance of Outcome
The firm does not guarantee that third parties, financial institutions, or healthcare providers will accept your Power of Attorney documents in every circumstance. Acceptance depends on each institution’s policies and applicable law.
8. Promotion Does Not Cover Non-Standard Situations
This promotion applies only to standard Power of Attorney documents. Complex or non-standard situations — including corporate, business-entity, or multi-jurisdictional powers, or custom provisions — may require additional services billed at standard rates.
9. Subject to Conflict Checks
All services, including those provided under this promotion, are subject to standard conflict-of-interest checks. If a conflict is identified, the firm may decline representation or preparation of documents.
10. Not Legal Advice Until Engagement
Information provided during initial consultation is for general educational purposes and does not constitute individualized legal advice unless and until an attorney-client agreement is signed.
11. Promotion Capacity & Revocation
Promotion availability is limited by attorney scheduling capacity. The firm reserves the right to modify, limit, or revoke this promotion at any time, except for clients who have already booked and confirmed under the promo code HOLIDAYPOA.
